"Sri Lanka has seen a spike in drowning deaths, with over 50 fatalities reported between January and May 2026. Extreme weather events, such as Cyclone Ditwah, have altered river paths and increased erosion, making previously safe bathing spots dangerous. Authorities are planning a national mechanism to prevent further drowning incidents."
