Yet another Community Welfare Project of the Sri Lanka Navy came to a successful end with the opening of 04 Reverse Osmosis (RO) plants under the auspices of Commander of the Navy, Vice Admiral Sirimevan Ranasinghe in Anuradhapura on 17th November 2018.

Meanwhile, the Sri Lanka Navy has installed a total of 512 RO plants across the country to date.
