Navy divers restore reservoir sluice gate of Bomburuella Reservoir

The Sri Lanka Navy successfully conducted a diving operation on 19 Jan 26 to inspect and restore the sluice gate of the Bomburuella Reservoir.

Acting on a request from the Department of Irrigation, the Sri Lanka Navy deployed a specialized diving team from the Western Naval Command, to the urgent requirement.

Through concerted effort, the Navy divers successfully cleared accumulated debris, including significant wooden fragments, which had impeded the sluice gate mechanism. The operation ensured the sluice gate was returned to full working condition, enabling proper water management for the Bomburuella Reservoir.
