In response to the recent heavy rainfall across Sri Lanka, the Sri Lanka Navy has mobilized 41 relief teams comprised of personnel from both the Navy and the Coast Guard, deployed across all Naval Commands.
Navy said these teams stand ready to provide immediate assistance to the public affected by the adverse weather conditions.
Meanwhile, the Navy has dispatched a flood relief team in the Henepola area, which has been inundated by the overflowing Katupiti Oya in Madampe, Puttalam. The overflow of Katupiti Oya, coursing through the Madampe Divisional Secretariat, has resulted in the flooding of all access roads to the Henepola Grama Niladhari Division.
In this backdrop, the Navy has also dispatched a flood relief team to provide aid to those affected by the floods.
