The police have announced that the Kandy–Nuwara Eliya road will be closed at the Garanadella area due to the risk of landslides. Continuous rainfall is reported in the Nuwara Eliya region as of this afternoon, leading to flooding in many low-lying areas of the district.

Additionally, the new road section at Kandapola-Kotlojhandiya on the Nuwara Eliya–Udapussellawa main road has been completely submerged, disrupting traffic in the area. The heavy rainfall has also adversely affected vegetable cultivation in low-lying farmland across the district.

Authorities have urged motorists and residents to exercise caution and stay updated with further advisories.
