The Southern Provincial Education Secretary has announced that all government schools in the Galle and Matara districts will resume normal operations starting tomorrow (11). This decision indicates an improvement in the overall situation, allowing schools to reopen and resume educational activities.
Meanwhile, the Irrigation Department has provided an update on the flood situation caused by heavy rains. Fortunately, there has been a decrease in the flooding, primarily attributed to the absence of significant rainfall in the riverine areas over the last two days. As a result, the Irrigation Department anticipates that the flood situation will completely subside within the next two days.
However, it’s important to note that there might still be moderate flooding in the lower reaches of the Nilwala River. Authorities are actively monitoring the situation and taking necessary measures to manage any ongoing challenges related to flooding.
The improving conditions signal a positive turn in the region, with efforts ongoing to ensure the safety and well-being of the affected areas. Stay tuned for further updates as the situation continues to develop.
