Several areas in Colombo, Gampaha and Kalutara have been flooded as a result of the heavy rain experienced since early this morning.

The Mathugama-Aluthgama road and Jawatta road are among the roads inundated this morning, the Disaster Management Centre said.

Fort and Slave Island too have come under water and a tree has been uprooted near the Gangaramaya Temple desrupting traffic. The tree had fallen on two vehicles which were damaged. (YP)
