A significant power outage affected multiple areas in Colombo, Kalutara, and surrounding areas earlier today due to a tripping incident on the Biyagama–Pannipitiya main transmission line.
The Ceylon Electricity Board (CEB) confirmed that the disruption impacted several substations, leading to widespread power cuts.
CEB teams were promptly deployed to address the issue, and power supply has since been restored to most affected areas. (Newswire)
