The Ambewela-Raindapola road in Welimada leading to the World’s End has been closed today (12) until further notice in the wake of a massive earth slip last morning at the 3km post.

Police said the earth slip has caused extensive damage to the road, bringing traffic to a standstill.

A senior official of the District Disaster Management Centre said the road was closed in view of the danger posed by the possibility of further earth slips.

Keppetipola police say that a trishaw had toppled after the driver had taken the road unaware of the danger. The driver had escaped after jumping out.
