A bus carrying around 70 passengers, which became stranded on the Kala Oya Bridge along the Anuradhapura–Puttalam road, is reportedly facing rising floodwaters, reaching the waist level of passengers onboard.
A passenger inside the bus told Ada Derana that six people have been rescued so far by a Navy boat.
“No one has come… I called everywhere for about one and a half hours,” the passenger added.
Member of Parliament Ajith P. Perera informed Parliament today (28) that the bus has been stuck at the location for approximately one and a half hours.
