A fire broke out at an electronic waste collection warehouse in the Wewagedara area of Divulapitiya at around 11.00 a.m. on 15 November. All the e-waste kept inside was lost in the blaze, and its origin is still unknown.
Residents, police officers from the Divulapitiya Police Station and firefighters struggled for nearly eight hours to contain the flames. At the time of reporting, the fire had still not been fully put out.
Authorities have yet to assess how much damage the fire has caused.
