The Sri Lanka Navy has deployed relief teams in certain areas in the Southern Province to provide assistance and support to those who may be affected by floods.
According to a Sri Lanka Navy statement, the relief teams were deployed yesterday (May 14) as a result of the looming inclement weather in several parts of the country.
On the directives of the Commander of the Navy, Vice Admiral Priyantha Perera, the Southern Naval Command has sent relief teams to the Galle, Akuressa, Kotapola, Nagoda, Thawalama, Kamburupitiya and Athuraliya areas, to ensure a coordinated and effective response.
The Navy has sent relief teams to the Galle and Matara districts as floods have been caused by the overflow of the Gin Ganga and Nilwala River. These teams are now prepared to assist the affected people with the necessary relief.
Moreover, additional Navy relief teams have been kept on standby to be deployed at will, to render assistance to the general public, in the event they are affected by floods. (NewsWire)
