GL vows to tackle Uni ragging
Hirushan receiving his scholarship from Esufally
Abbas Esufally, Group Director, Hemas Holdings, on the invitation of Education Minister Prof. G.L. Peiris, yesterday (8), provided a scholarship to Pasindu Hirushan (20) who suffered serious injuries due to university ragging in March this year. Speaking at the event at the UGC, Colombo, Prof. Peiris said that their efforts to eliminate ragging had been undermined by a section of university academics who were tolerant of the deplorable practice. Prof. Peiris emphasized that ragging was not acceptable, under any circumstances, and tangible measures would be taken to eradicate it.
