The Communist Party of Sri Lanka has appealed to all Sri Lankans to stand united and be committed to saving the country from the grave crisis it is facing.

In a statement titled “Let us face the challenge together as a nation in the face of a major disaster!” CPSL General Secretary Dr. G. Weerasinghe said the people of Sri Lanka have suffered immensely for nearly a week following Cyclonic Storm Ditwah, which struck on November 26, 2025. He noted that it is the worst cyclone to hit the country since the devastating storm of November 1978.
