Landslide warnings issued on three districts

The National Building Research Organization (NBRO) has issued landslide warnings on three districts.

 

Accordingly, the warnings have been issued on Nuwara Eliya, Kandy, and Ratnapura Districts.

 

NBRO stated that the warnings have been issued due to the prevailing adverse weather in the relevant areas.

 

Meanwhile, earth slips have occurred in several areas on the main road at Ginigathhena due to the heavy rains experienced in the western slopes of the central hills, Ada Derana correspondent said.

 

As a result, traffic on the Hatton-Kandy and Hatton-Colombo main roads has been temporarily disrupted, said Ranjith Alahakoon, Assistant Director of the Nuwara Eliya Disaster Management Unit.

 

In addition, earth slips have occurred at several places in the Ambagamuwa area on the Ginigathhena-Nawalapitiya main road as well.

 

Road Development Authority is currently working to restore the blocked roads, the Police said.

 

Watawala Police stated that many houses in the low-lying areas of the Watawala area have also been inundated due to the overflowing of the Hatton Oya.
