With normal transport modes congested during the period, and private hired transport unaffordable to many still, HUTCH took steps to provide pilgrims with free transportation services from 20th – 23rd June 2024 with free special train services and free bus services organized by HUTCH. Commenting on the initiative, Tharindu Wijerathne – General Manager, National Sales at HUTCH Sri Lanka said, "Poson Poya Day marks the arrival of Buddhism in Sri Lanka. Many hundreds of thousands make their way to Anuradhapura and Mihintale to commemorate this holy period. With such significance, this period is also a time to reflect on fundamental Buddhist values such as kindness, generosity, and easing others' difficulties. As a result, we realized that HUTCH could contribute by making the pilgrimage experience easier and possible to more people in the country. We are incredibly humbled to have been able to provide this valuable service to thousands of pilgrims, under HUTCH Praja Sathkara."
