Heavy rainfall experienced in Colombo this afternoon (November 6) has disrupted both railway operations and road traffic, causing major inconvenience to commuters.

Train services across all railway lines have been delayed following a signal system failure between Colombo Fort and Maradana railway stations.

The signal breakdown has affected overall train operations, resulting in widespread delays.

Meanwhile, torrential rainfall has caused flooding on several major roads in Colombo, leading to severe traffic congestion across multiple routes.
