Authorities have temporarily closed a section of the Colombo–Kandy main road after a rockfall struck a shop in the Ganethenna area of Pahala Kadugannawa.
Ongoing heavy rainfall has increased the risk of landslides, rockfalls, and earth slips along the route, prompting the precautionary closure. Motorists have been advised to avoid the affected stretch until safety inspections and mitigation measures are completed.
Officials continue to monitor the situation closely to ensure public safety and prevent further incidents.
