November 27, Colombo (LNW): Muslim schools across Sri Lanka’s Eastern Province have been ordered to close from today (27) until conditions improve, as heavy rain and strong winds continue to disrupt daily life in the region.
The announcement was made by Eastern Province Governor, Prof. Jayantha Lal Ratnasekera, who said the decision was taken in the interest of student safety, with several areas experiencing localised flooding and difficult travel conditions.
Authorities noted that some schools had already reported access roads becoming unsafe, prompting a province-wide suspension as a precaution.
