In a significant gesture of solidarity, the High Commission of India in Colombo extended relief assistance to the people of the Northern Province, responding to the recent floods that caused displacement and hardship. The distribution was carried out by Consul General Shri. Sai Murali, alongside former MP Kader Mastan on December 07.
Approximately 2,100 families from flood-affected areas in Pesalai and Vellankulam (Mannar) and Thunukkai and Manthai East (Mullaitivu) received essential aid. The relief package included mats and blankets, providing much-needed support to families during this difficult time.
This assistance reflects the vision of India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi, emphasising the “Neighbourhood First” policy. India remains committed to standing by its neighbours in times of need, ensuring timely and effective relief to affected communities.
