Landslide in Nuwara Eliya

2 February 2011 06:21 am

Transport in several areas of the Nuwara Eliya district was crippled due to a landslide that caused obstructions to Badulla – Nuwara Eliya road at Polgahawanguwa. The occupants of a house in the endangered area were instructed to vacate the house immediately. The contractors of the road development project had taken steps to clear the obstructions to traffic on the instructions of Nuwara Eliya Govt. Agent D.P.G.Kumarasiri. The GA said another earth slip had obstructed Udupusellawa- Welimada road  and that the public traveling to Badulla should take Nuwara  Eliya –Horton Plains road through Ambewela and Boragas.
