Flash floods caused by heavy rains have devastated villages in northern Afghanistan, killing 315 people and injuring more than 1,600, authorities said on Sunday, as villagers buried their dead and aid agencies warned of widening havoc. 
The Meteorology Department warns that thundershowers accompanied by severe lightning are likely to occur at several places in Central, Sabaragamuwa, Eastern and Uva provinces and in Colombo, Gampaha, Puttalam, Mullaitivu, Kilinochchi and Polonnaruwa districts today (12). 
Police have arrested the girlfriend of the youth from Kuliyapitiya who was found murdered weeks after his disappearance. 
President Ranil Wickremesinghe stated that he expects to increase the growth rate of Sri Lanka s economy up to 3% by the year 2025 and mentioned that steps would be taken to increase the salaries of government employees. 
The resumption of the passenger ferry service from Nagapattinam to Kankesanthurai has been postponed due to the delay in arrival of the vessel and meeting regulatory compliance. Copyright © 2007 - 2024 Col3neg. All Rights Reserved.
