The Department of Meteorology has clarified that the news circulating on social media that a tsunami will occur again on Tuesday, December 26 is completely false.
Director General of Meteorological Department Atula Karunanayake said that no one can predict the time and date of tsunami or earthquake.
He mentioned that in the event of a tsunami or land shock, the International Tsunami Warning Centers will be on alert 24 hours a day and will be notified in advance.
The Tsunami that hit many international countries including Sri Lanka occurred on the full moon day.
The Director General has pointed out that this is the reason why people are afraid again.
However, he said that there may be some rain on Tuesday, December 26, and people should not cause unnecessary fear.
This has been mentioned in the report issued by the Department of Meteorology.
