Colombo (LNW): The heavy showers occurred since yesterday (03) morning contributed to an almost unprecedented flooding in several areas of the city of Colombo.
Colombo Fort, Panchikawatta, Maradana, Borella, Kompanna Veediya (previously known as Slave Island), Kurunduwatta and many other areas were flooded, and some areas even saw a water level of about 2-3 feet.
The city of Colombo saw a lesser traffic congestion because yesterday was Sunday, but the people who travelled on the roads by vehicles and on foot suffered immensely.
