An official says thirteen people have been injured after protesters against the budget clashed with police in Sri Lanka's capital.
Pushpa Soysa, a spokeswoman for Colombo National Hospital, says eight policemen and five protesters were hurt in Wednesday's protest.
Police barricaded the road to stop the march from reaching the president's office and later used a water cannon to disperse defying protesters.
The protesters say the budget contains no proposals for employing the country's youth.
