Navy renders assistance to clean Ibbankatuwa Tank

The Navy, since 24th December, has been rendering assistance to remove the remains collected at the Ibbankatuwa Tank after floods.

Following the adverse weather prevailed in the island over the past few days, a sluice gate of Ibbankatuwa Reservoir had been blocked and two big pipes carrying water to the treatment plant had been obstructed with remains.

Responding to this situation, a team of Navy divers are now working industriously to remove the collected remains to help commence the usual run of the reservoir.
