The All Ceylon Hindu Congress has offered its assistance in caring for school students displaced by the landslide.

In a letter addressed to President Mahinda Rajapaksa, the President of the All Ceylon Hindu Congress, Kandiah Neelakandan, notes that they understand that about 75 students of Haldummulla School are displaced and have been deprived of education.

Noting that in 2009 too, the Congress assisted in feeding and maintaining 275 children from the Vanni area, Neelakandan says that the All Ceylon Hindu Congress is prepared to render the same assistance to the children affected by the landslide.
