About 200-300 protesters are marching towards Temple Trees from Slave Island passing through James Peiris Mawatha and Gangaramaya. Police have blocked off several potential routes, including Galle Road south of the US Embassy.  Traffic in the area is extremely heavy. As always, the Embassy recommends avoiding the areas near any protest/parade.
