Crew members of the visiting Indian Naval Ship INS Udaygiri joined hands with personnel from the Sri Lanka Navy’s Western Naval Command to carry out a beach cleaning drive along the Galle Face promenade in Colombo.
The environmental initiative was organised as part of a series of goodwill events during the vessel’s official visit to Sri Lanka, aimed at strengthening bilateral ties between the two navies.
According to the Navy, the joint effort resulted in the collection of a significant amount of non‑biodegradable waste, including plastic and polythene litter scattered along the shoreline.
The Sri Lanka Navy subsequently arranged for the proper disposal of the collected waste to prevent further environmental harm to the coastal area. (Newswire)
