The Puttalam-Mannar road has been temporarily close due to the rising water levels of the Kala Oya, the Puttalam Disaster Management Centre stated.
The water levels of the Kala Oya have risen due to the opening of the sluice gates at the Rajanganaya reservoir, the centre further revealed. The six sluice gates were opened by four feet after which the Puttalam-Mannar road near the Eluwankulama area was submerged under about five feet of water.
