The Balangoda - Hatton main road has been blocked after a large mound of earth collapsed on to the road, after heavy rain pounded the area last night.

As such, the vehicular movement along the road has been interrupted since the early hours of the day.

According to Ada Derana correspondent, the earth slip has occurred about 100 meters from the town of Pinnawala.
