2 Officers and 34 Army personnel of the 213 Brigade under the 21 Division of the Security Force Headquarters - Wanni (SFHQ-W) on Saturday (7) evening at the request of the Vavuniya Disaster Management Centre promptly secured the Kunchinuur Kulam and KuliKutti Kulam tank bunds which were threatened with burst due to soaring water levels in both tanks.
Guided by Colonel K. A. N Rasika Kumara, 213 Brigade Commander on the instructions of Major General Kumar Jayapathirana, General Officer Commanding, 21 Division, those troops after placing sandbags around threatened patches averted a major split in both bunds which could have been disastrous unless addressed.
Hundreds of families living in those low-level areas adjoining those tank bunds supported the troops and thanked them for their timely action that had helped them enormously.bridgemedia | Men Nike Footwear
