On May 19, 2025, at around 3:00 PM, a student from Kamburugamuwa, in school uniform, attempted suicide by jumping off the Mahanama Bridge into the Nilwala River in Matara. After being informed by the civilians that he was clinging to the bridge, 02x05 troops of the 3 (V) Gemunu Watch immediately responded with the help of a boat and rescued the child without allowing him to be swept away. He was safely handed over to his parents via the Matara Police Station.
