BY Stephanie Sansoni-2015-11-04
The Disaster Management Centre has issued a landslide warning to three districts following heavy showers experienced islandwide. The landslide warnings have been issued to Kegalle, Ratnapura and Nuwara-Eliya Districts, Deputy Director of the Disaster Management Centre Pradeep Kodippili said.
The Anuradhapura District has been identified as the potentially most landslide prone district due to incessant heavy thundershowers experienced since Monday (2) night.
Meanwhile, the Meteorology Department predicted that the intense thundershowers will lessen in intensity within 24 hours.
Thundershowers are however very likely at several places in the Northern, Eastern and Southern Provinces.
The DMC appeals to the general public to take adequate precautions against heavy showers and
lightning.
