SLN removes debris clogged in Gin Ganga

November 08, 2021

Sri Lanka Navy (SLN) cleared debris collected under the narrow bridges of Mulkada, Agaliya and Dodangoda 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 and has got stuck under the bridges preventing gravity flow, which may pose a flood threat to the surrounding low lying areas in the region.

Clogged areas were cleared by deploying divers of the Southern Naval Command, the SLN said.
