The Irrigation Department has announced a high-risk flood warning for low-lying areas surrounding the Maha Oya Basin over the next 24 hours. The alert comes after significant rainfall was recorded across the upper catchment during the past day.
Officials warn that the volume of water flowing downstream could trigger severe flooding, potentially exceeding levels experienced in recent years. Communities living in at-risk locations have been urged to evacuate to safer ground without delay as authorities continue to monitor rising water levels.
