The government said yesterday that it was willing to amend the laws with a view to minimising the incidence of landslides.
State Enterprise Development Deputy Minister Eran Wickremeratne, addressing a press conference in Colombo, invited geologists to do a comprehensive study and advise the authorities on measures to be adopted to prevent death and destruction due to floods and mudslides.
