The Inter University Student Federation states that steps should be taken to open the universities throughout the island as soon as possible under a proper health care protective system.

Its convener Ven. Rathkarawwe Jinaratana Thera told our news team that although a proposal has been submitted to the University Grants Commission for a proper health care protective system to be implemented in universities, it has not been considered so far.
