With the Diayawanna Oya reaching spill level due to the heavy rains that fell overnight, MPs as well as others coming to Parliament had to change their usual route to get into the Parliamentary complex in Kotte.

The main entrance to the Parliament at Jayanthipura was closed and visitors were asked to use the other entrance located close to the Japan-Sri Lanka Friendship Road.

Several sections of the road leading to the Parliamentary complex remained under water with Diyawanna Oya spilling over at several places while the Parliament ground too was inundated with waters.
