Sri Lanka, July 19 -- Heavy rainfall and dense fog that began late on the night of the 18th have severely affected daily life and road travel along the western slopes of Sri Lanka's Central Highlands.

The foggy conditions have notably impacted key routes, including the Hatton-Nuwara Eliya and Hatton-Colombo main roads, as well as several by-roads in the region.

Hatton Police Traffic Division officers are urging motorists to drive cautiously, keep headlights on, and reduce speed to prevent accidents amid low visibility.
