Residents in several areas in Colombo and it's suburbs were hit by a sudden power failure this morning and several attempts made to contact Ceylon Electricity Board (CEB) Chairman W. B. Ganegala and other CEB officials proved futile.

Meanwhile, CEB officials at Sri Jayawardenapura said the one-hour power failure in Colombo and its suburbs including Battaramulla, Homagama, Panadura and Gampaha was caused by a breakdown in the Norochcholai and the Kerawalapitiya power plants.
