A search is underway for a man who went missing after falling into a flooded mine in the Aruporuwa area in Ayagama last evening.
The Police said the missing individual, a 30-year-old resident of Medagalathura, Singhalagoda, had reportedly gone to the mining site with another person.
Investigations reveal that the man fell into the mine while attempting to remove a plug connected to a motor inside as heavy rainfall had caused the mine to fill with water.
Search operations are ongoing, while the Ayagama Police are conducting further investigations. (Newswire)
