During the Sinhala and Tamil New Year, a time defined by togetherness, tradition and returning home, Allianz Insurance Lanka Limited once again stood alongside Sri Lankan communities by continuing its Avurudu Negam initiative for the second consecutive year, expanding its reach to support families during the festive travel period.

Building on the positive response to last year’s programme, Allianz Avurudu Negam 2026 was shaped to make the journey home special and loved during Avurudu. In response, Allianz offered ticket refunds to eligible passengers travelling on the Galu Kumari service from Maradana, supporting passengers journeying home to celebrate the New Year with loved ones.

Passengers boarding from Maradana and Fort and travelling beyond Galle up to Belliatta were eligible for the refund, helping make the journey home more affordable at a meaningful time of year. Acknowledging that financial strain frequently continues even after the celebrations conclude, Allianz extended the refund window until 30th April, easing the cost of returning to Colombo after Avurudu.

To complement this support, Allianz added a heartfelt touch rooted in New Year tradition. Traditional oil cakes were distributed to passengers boarding from Maradana, allowing families to take a familiar symbol of Avurudu back home and share it around their festive tables.

Allianz also prioritised protection during this period. Passengers eligible for the refund were given the option to obtain free Allianz Personal Accident Insurance, reflecting the belief that protection does not end with a journey, but continues wherever people go. In addition, these passengers were included in an LKR 1 million raffle draw, as an extension of the existing campaign, offering one winner shopping vouchers redeemable at outlets of their choice and support that extends beyond the New Year season.

At Fort Railway Station, Allianz extended the Avurudu Negam experience beyond passengers to the wider public, recognizing that stations become emotional meeting points during the New Year season filled with families, children, and expectations of returning home. Through simple yet meaningful interactive activities and raffles, Allianz created moments of joy that broke the rush of travel, allowing children and families to take home not just gifts, but a small celebration of Avurudu itself.

Through Allianz Avurudu Negam, Allianz Insurance Lanka continues to go beyond insurance easing everyday burdens, preserving traditions, and standing with Sri Lankan families during moments that matter most.
