The monsoon, which became active on Thursday evening (29), has brought heavy rainfall and strong winds to several parts of the country, causing widespread disruptions and property damage. Colombo and its suburbs have borne the brunt of the storm, with traffic paralysed on key roads, due to fallen trees and debris.
In the Colombo District alone, 1,321 individuals from 245 families have been affected, with over 200 houses partially damaged, and three completely destroyed, the National Disaster Relief Services Centre (NDRCS) reported.
