Meanwhile, the Ampara - Iginiyagala main road also remains temporarily closed from the Suduwella area, owing to the prevailing flood situation, Ada Derana reporter said.

In the meantime, several faculties of the South-Eastern University of Sri Lanka in Oluvil were temporarily closed as a result of the extreme weather conditions.
