On 30 March 2025, with the approval of the 61 Infantry Division and under the guidance of the 572 Infantry Brigade, two groups of 20 x troops from the 18th Battalion, Sri Lanka National Guard, responded quickly to clear the Rajawaka-Kalthota road. The road had been blocked by fallen trees, soil, and debris caused by heavy rainfall. The soldiers worked diligently to remove the obstacles, ensuring that transportation was swiftly restored for the local community. This quick and effective response underscores the Army’s ongoing commitment to public service, disaster relief, and national resilience, as well as its crucial role in emergency response during times of need.
