Date:

February 28, Colombo (LNW): The National Building Research Organisation (NBRO) has issued early landslide warnings for several areas in the Badulla and Nuwara Eliya districts due to ongoing heavy rainfall across parts of the island.

The warnings, which are in place until 12.30 p.m. tomorrow (01), have been prompted by the adverse weather conditions that have increased the risk of landslides in certain regions.

A Level 1 (Yellow) warning has been issued for multiple Divisional Secretariat Divisions (DSDs) in both districts.

In Badulla, the affected areas include Passara, Hali-Ela, Badulla, Kandaketiya, Uva Paranagama, Meegahakiula, and Soranathota DSDs, along with the surrounding areas.

In Nuwara Eliya, the Walapane DSD and its surrounding regions have also been included in the advisory.

The NBRO has urged residents and local authorities in these areas to remain vigilant and take necessary precautions to ensure safety.
