(UTV|COLOMBO) – Earth-slips and fallen trees have affected transportation along the Norton Bridge main road due to heavy winds and rains experienced in the Central region since yesterday (Sept 15).
Police said that two trees had fallen across the road this morning. Accordingly, an operation is underway to remove the earth and trees which have been obstructing vehicular movement along the road.
