Colombo, Sri Lanka: Three people died and more than 60,000 had to be evacuated to safer locations due to floods and mudslides caused by heavy rains around Sri Lanka, officials said on Tuesday.
The Disaster Management Center said that three days of heavy rain in 15 districts also injured two persons and destroyed 1,900 homes.
Hospitals and government offices were inundated and some inmates of a prison were transferred to other facilities.
