SLRCS has no contact with any organisation

Relief goods for displaced

By Amira Cader

Sri Lankan Red Cross Society (SLRCS) stated yesterday that it has no communication or contact with any other organisation or third party other than the Indian Red Cross regarding the 27 containers of relief goods sent by Indian Red Cross for the displaced civilians in Vavuniya IDP camps,

This was after some Indian media reports said Sri Lanka Red Cross through the Indian Red Cross Society had demanded a letter sent to Mercy Mission U.K organisers to remit SL Rs 7.6 million immediately to carry out the distribution of relief goods to the IDPS camps in Sri Lanka

These containers of relief materials landed at Colombo Port last Thursday, in the ship MV Caption Colorado but are still lying un-cleared as the Sri Lankan customs not receiving proper documents for clearance from the Indian Red Cross.
