Sri Lanka Police say traffic restrictions will be in place in parts of the Matara District from today (29) due to several Poson Peraheras.

The Kondeniya Asokaramaya temple Perahera begins at 7.00 p.m. and will move through Kondeniya Junction, Dikwella and Tangalle via the Colombo–Kataragama main road.

Temporary road closures are expected, with motorists advised to use alternative routes.

Additional traffic disruptions are also expected in Ratmale and surrounding areas during other Poson processions.
