We met with the police regarding the protest being held by the MDP tonight. The demonstration is being organized to protest the unfair dismissal of employees from their jobs. During the meeting, we clearly outlined the route we intend to take and all other relevant details. The police were very cooperative and have granted us permission to proceed along Ameenee Magu as requested. They also assured us that they would provide assistance by managing road closures throughout the march.
