Floods Again
(Update : 10th June, 2017)
The magnitude of the Disaster in Sri Lanka in May 2017 as a result of the torrential rains. Flash floods commenced after just two days of rains and along with the mud slides and heavy flooding wreaked havoc in 15 districts. Breach of the Banks of the many rivers that Sri Lanka is blessed with coupled with unplanned and ill-advised stone and soil quarrying for development is considered to be some of the causes.
