The Irrigation Department and the Kalutara District Disaster Management Coordinating Unit deployed emergency technical teams to inspect and fortify lower Kalu Ganga riverbanks today, September 26, 2026.

With hydrological gauging stations at Millakanda recording rising water levels on the Kuda Ganga tributary, irrigation engineers adjusted automated saltwater exclusion tidal gates and reinforced vulnerable low-lying bunds in Bulathsinhala, Madurawala, and Palindanuwara. District disaster officers urged residents living near flood-prone river plains and unstable hill cuttings under NBRO Level 2 landslide advisories to maintain emergency contact with local grama niladharis and monitor real-time RiverNet warning bulletins.
