Meanwhile  investigations are underway over the  assault of two police officers by  the residents.  A mob of  Slave Island residents clashed with the police yesterday after   authorities began removing unauthorized structures in the area. Many   families were forced out of their homes with their belongings and the   demolition of the structures took place despite the resident's claim to   having documents that prove their structures were legal.   UNP  MP Sujeewa Serasinghe stated that the demolition was illegal as the   residents had documentation which was issued between 1986 and 1987 that   proved the houses and apartments were authorised constructions and that   legal action is to be taken against the Urban Devolopment Authority   (UDA) over the eviction.   Speaking to Daily Mirror online,  Serasinghe stated, "These people have  their deeds and their names are  on the voting list. The structures were  legal and the authorities had  no court order to remove them, what's more  the residents were given  only 3 days notice."  Serasinghe added that he was seeking an  interim order to prevent future  demolitions and compensation to the  people affected.   Meanwhile speaking to Daily Mirror online  Police Spokesman S.P  Preshantha Jayakody said that investigations are  underway over the  assault of two police officers by residents of Slave  Island who were  evicted from their homes yesterday afternoon. Jayakody  stated  that action will be taken against the perpetrators.  (Daily   Mirror online)   <img src="http://www.dailymirror.lk/images/pic1w600.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />  <img src="http://www.dailymirror.lk/images/pic1w2.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />  <img src="http://www.dailymirror.lk/images/pic1w3.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />  <img src="http://www.dailymirror.lk/images/pic1w4.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />  The clearing of rubble  took place this morning by the UDA.
