    • The Hon. Bimal Rathnayake - Minister of Transport, Highways and Urban Development and Leader of the House of Parliament JJB

      AI summary Minister Bimal Rathnayake made a special statement on heavy rainfall, floods and landslides, detailing NBRO warnings and recommendations for the Kadugannawa section of the Colombo–Kandy Road after rockfall and subsidence halted traffic. He said limited one-way traffic would be allowed only in dry conditions with barriers, flagmen, lighting and continuous monitoring, while the road would close during rain and alternative routes, including protected transport for A/L candidates, would be provided. He reported over 170 landslide-related incidents, 26 deaths, four missing persons and several road closures, and urged the public not to visit hazardous sites. He also tabled NBRO reports, including a 1999 Kadugannawa slope stability report, and said further decisions on protecting the historic corridor and relief measures would follow discussions with the President.
