Sluice gates of the Weheragala, Bowatenna, Parakrama Samudraya, Minneriya, Kaudulla, Kantale and Kukule Ganga reservoirs were opened because of the torrential rains in these areas, the Meteorology Department said today.

People who are living in low-line areas have been warned to be on the alert for possible flood threats as a result of the sluice gates being opened. (Chaturanga Pradeep)
