Financial assistance was extended to members of the International Police Association (IPA) who suffered losses and property damage as a result of Cyclone “Ditwa”, which severely impacted the island. The assistance programme was held at Police Headquarters on 22 May 2026.

The event was attended by the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Senior Deputy Inspector General of Police in charge of Administration, Mr. Sanjeewa Dharmaratne, Secretary General of the Sri Lanka Branch of the International Police Association, Ms. Sunethra Seneviratne, and several senior police officers representing the Sri Lanka Branch of the International Police Association.
