The Commercial Bank of Ceylon has once again come to the aid of people affected by floods in some of the worst hit areas of the country, with timely distribution of emergency relief.Teams from the bank were deployed in areas such as Horana, Bandaragama, Elpitiya and Matugama since 4 June to distribute dry rations, clothing, drinking water and stationery in a relief operation similar to the one mounted by the bank in December 2012. Packs of dry rations were distributed with the assistance of local authorities to families affected by the floods in some of these areas. Clothes were provided for needy people while children who lost their school requirements were provided with exercise books, pens, pencils, mathematical instruments, school bags and water bottles, the bank said. Seen here is the distribution of flood relief provided by the bank in the Kalutara area.
