The death toll from a landslide of a garbage dump in Sri Lanka rose to 32 on Wednesday with eight others still missing.
The Disaster Management Center said the search and rescue operations at the site of the Meethotamulla garbage dumping site were still continuing.
Several houses were buried after the massive garbage mountain collapsed on Friday.
A fire had also broken out at the site and the Air Force was deployed to douse the flame.
The government said there would be no more dumping of garbage at Meethotamulla following the tragedy.
President Maithripala Sirisena has instructed officials to provide maximum relief to the people who were affected by the disaster.
