The Disaster Management Centre has identified 137 Divisional Secretariat Divisions in 19 districts as affected, with Ratnapura and Puttalam being the worst hit districts. Meanwhile, the Department of Meteorology has issued a red-level warning for Cyclone 'Murasu,' which is expected to intensify into a severe cyclonic storm and move northwestwards, crossing the Andhra Pradesh coast of India.
