Those who participated in the Galle May Day rally in a 5 km long queue

The SLFP organized May Day rally at the Samanala playground in Galle had attracted a very large crowd.Many from Colombo and other far away cities had used the southern express highway to go and return .The meeting which commenced in the afternoon had
rapped up at around 7 pm.

Those who returned after the rally along the southern express highway had been terribly inconvenienced as that had to travel in queues about 5 kilmetres long. The former president Mahinda Rajapaksa who had attended the May Day Rally organized by the so called joint opposition had said the people who attended the SLFP May Day rally in Galle had traveled on the southern express way he built and to express appreciation to him may have visited the Galle rally and had returned to the Kirillapona rally.This may have been the cause for the traffic congestion along the SEH.
