The Morning Standard
|June 04, 2024
SRI Lanka closed schools on Monday as heavy rain triggered floods and mudslides in many parts of the island nation, leaving at least 10 people dead and six others missing, officials said.
-
The education ministry announced that the reopening of schools would depend on how the weather develops.
Heavy downpours have wreaked havoc in many parts of the country since Sunday, flooding homes, fields and roads, and forcing authorities to cut electricity as a precaution. Six people died after being washed away and drowning in the capital, Colombo, and the remote Rathnapura district on Sunday, according to the disaster management centre. Three others died when mounds of earth collapsed on their houses, and one person died when a tree fell on him.

Jansen is going to be elite all-rounder: Kallis
ON Sunday night, Marco Jansen almost took South Africa across the line against India, smashing a 39-ball 70 in the chase of 350. His knock comes after a stellar show in the Test series where India were handed a 0-2 defeat by South Africa for the first time in 25 years. For someone who was a net bowler when Virat Kohli’s Test team visited South Africa in 2018, Jansen has made a meteoric rise as an all-rounder this year.
