For convenience of elderly and disabled pilgrims

Ideal Motors Ltd., the sole authorised distributor for Mahindra and Mahindra motor vehicles and motorcycles in Sri Lanka has ensured the well-being and comfort of elderly and disabled pilgrims visiting Sri Lanka’s famous sacred sites – Jaya Sri Maha Bodhi and Ruhunu Maha Kataragama Dewalaya by donating electric three-wheelers recently.

The project was initiated under the direction and guidance of Ideal Group Chairman Nalin Welgama and the donation of the electric three-wheelers were organised as part of Ideal Motors social responsibility program.

A Mahindra electric three-wheeler was donated for the convenience of elderly and disabled pilgrims with special needs, visiting the Jaya Sri Maha Bodhi and the Swarnamali Chaitya in Anuradhapura, also for the transportation needs of the Venerable priests who reside in the vicinity, and towards transporting any sick pilgrims arriving to venerate the holy sites.

Moreover, understanding the importance extending its fullest support and assistance to the nation during the COVID-19 pandemic, Ideal Motors unstintingly conducted several social responsibility programs. Ideal Motors came forward during end-March to provide the Colombo East Base Hospital Mulleriyawa with two industrial washing machines and 50 pedal bins.
