The Sri Lanka Navy has begun to patrol the Bolgoda and Bentara Rivers after reports of Atulugama in Bandaragama and Dharga Town residents violating curfew regulations by traveling in boats.

Some residents were seen violating orders to remain in isolation and curfew regulations by crossing the rivers by boat to interact with persons on the opposite banks, the Navy said in a press release. The Navy, with the assistance of the Police, has deployed a number of small boats to patrol the inland waterways and enforce curfew regulations.
