The Executive Committee (EXCO) decided to cancel the Annual Get-Together due to the impact of Ditwah and instead prioritize providing financial assistance to needy members. Accordingly, a Special Financial Assistance Programme was initiated to extend relief to affected members, and the handing over of cheques was held on 21 January 2026 at the Ex-Servicemen’s Association Auditorium.

During the event, a total of Rs. 600,000.00 was disbursed among 49 retired members, with cheques being symbolically presented to eight beneficiaries.

SLAFESA continues to play a leading role in supporting its members during times of need. The occasion was presided over by the President and the Secretary, with the participation of EXCO members.
