Sri Lanka Navy rendered assistance to bring ashore an ill fisherman and rushed him for treatment this evening (15th May 2022). The fisherman who was aboard a local multiday fishing trawler had suddenly fallen ill and was in need of medical attention, while in seas off the eastern coast.

Sri Lanka Navy as of now has deployed 10 relief teams in several areas in the Western and Southern Provinces to extend relief measures to people, in the backdrop where flood risk is likely following the inclement weather.
