One such camp was organised at Lanka IOC petrol station at Akurassa. This retail outlet was badly damaged by the recent floods. The engineering team of Lanka IOC restored operations of this RO within a very short time to ensure easy availability of auto fuels to local population.

Also to provide instant relief to local population a medical and eye camp was organised at this RO on 6 and 7 June through Helpage Sri Lanka. Local public in huge numbers came for the medical check up. In the camp medicines were provided free. As people have lost their spectacles in the flood, free spectacles will also be provided to all. Though initially the camp was planned for one day only, looking at the requirement of local population, it was extended for one more day. More than 500 persons benefitted from this camp. More such camps are planned in flood affected areas.
