Last update: 7 hours ago

Monsoon Shock: A red warning is out as heavy rain (over 100mm in some areas) threatens Western, Sabaragamuwa and North-Western provinces plus Kandy, Nuwara Eliya, Galle and Matara, with the low-pressure system expected to weaken only after about 36 hours. Health Alert: Dengue is climbing fast—27,754 cases and 14 deaths reported so far this year—while meningitis in Deniyaya is said to be under control. Disaster Risk: NBRO has expanded landslide alerts as saturated ground and downpours keep the danger high. Justice in Focus: Yoshitha Rajapaksa pleaded not guilty as his money-laundering trial began in the High Court. Accountability Watch: The coal procurement probe continues with senior energy officials summoned again, as the inquiry targets alleged irregularities from 2009 onward. Governance & Services: Digital payments have reached 130 local government bodies via GovPay, and the Animal Welfare Bill is nearing Cabinet approval. Regional Ties: An Indian naval ship, IOS Sagar (IOS Sagar), is set to arrive in Colombo tomorrow.
