COLOMBO, Dec. 16 (Xinhua) -- Sri Lanka's National Building Research Organization (NBRO) on Monday issued early landslide warnings for multiple areas in four districts.
The warnings were issued following heavy rainfall that continues in parts of the island, the NBRO said.
The NBRO issued the warnings for several Divisional Secretariats and surrounding areas in the Badulla, Kandy, Kurunegala and Matale districts in the Central and North Western provinces.
Meanwhile, the country's meteorological department said the rains are due to prevailing disturbance over the southeastern Bay of Bengal sea. ■
