A breakdown in the signalling system between Colombo Fort and Maradana railway stations has caused delays to all trains.
Meanwhile, heavy rainfall has reportedly also resulted in severe traffic congestion on several roads in Colombo.
It is reported that the signalling system has malfunctioned following heavy rainfall that lashed the city of Colombo this afternoon (06).
Consequently, train operations across all railway lines have been disrupted, and trains are reportedly running behind schedule.
Meanwhile, several roads in the city of Colombo have become inundated due to the heavy downpour.
As a result, severe traffic congestion has been reported on many roads throughout the city.
The heavy rainfall, which began this afternoon, has thus disrupted both railway and road transport services.
