Sri Lanka, Nov. 28 -- A bus carrying around 70 passengers, which became stranded on the Kalawewa Bridge along the Anuradhapura-Puttalam road, is reportedly facing rising floodwaters, reaching the waist level of passengers onboard.

A passenger inside the bus told Ada Derana that six people have been rescued so far by a Navy boat.

"No one has come. I called everywhere for about one and a half hours," the passenger added.

Member of Parliament Ajith P. Perera informed Parliament today (28) that the bus has been stuck at the location for approximately one and a half hours.
