SLN removes debris clogged in Gin Ganga
September 24, 2020Sri Lanka Navy (SLN) cleared debris collected under the narrow bridges of Dodangoda and Wakwella of Gin Ganga in Galle during the showery condition in a bid to prevent potential floods in the region.
The gradual water flow has carried debris which has got stuck under the bridge preventing gravity flow, which may pose a flood threat to the surrounding low lying areas in the region.
Clogged area was cleaned by deploying troops of Southern Naval Command under the directives of Southern Naval Commander Commodore Priyantha Perera.
According to SLN, debris under the Wakwella and Dodamgoda Bridges were cleared for the ninth consecutive occasions during this year (2020).
SLN also said troops are standby to respond to eventualities that may take place over South-West Monsoonal effects.
