Former UPFA member of the Ambagamuwa Pradeshiya Sabha - Helapiya Nandaraja had tied black bands on his wrists and head before standing on his head in protest.

Nandaraja said that as his requests made to the Yahapalana government while standing on his feet had gone unheeded, he had protested while standing on his head.

Several other local politicians had supported Nandaraja.
