Navy relief teams on the frontline to assist flood affected communities

In the wake of inclement weather prevailing in several areas in the Western and Sabaragamuwa Provinces, communities in those localities are facing hardships due to floods. In response to these developments, the Sri Lanka Navy on 04th June 2023 swiftly mobilized 04 relief teams to Bulathsinhala, Baduraliya, Lathpandura and Kalawana areas to extend flood relief to affected communities.

As a result, the Navy relief teams took action this morning (05th June) to assist a group of school children who were stranded in the Lathpandura area of Baduraliya, Kalutara district, due to flash floods. Thus, the Navy provided a boat service to transport the students who were scheduled to sit for the G.C.E. Ordinary Level examination. Furthermore, the Navy relief teams also worked to alleviate the hardships faced by the affected communities.
