Social media platforms including Whatsapp, facebook and youtube have been temporarily blocked in Sri Lanka, official sources said.
They said that the decision to ban the social media has been taken in an effort to stop the spread of rumours following violence erupted between groups of civilians in Negombo this evening.
A curfew has been imposed in the Negombo area until 7am.
