A section of an embankment near Kadigamuwa Railway Station has been washed away amid heavy rainfall in the Central Highlands today (16), obstructing the railway line.

Railway workers have arrived at the affected location and are currently engaged in clearing the soil to restore the railway line.

This marks the third such incident near Kadigamuwa Railway Station since train services resumed on the Upcountry Line following Cyclone Ditwah, with sections of embankments being washed onto the tracks.
