Continuing with its International Women’s Day activities, DFCC Aloka, the women-centric banking proposition from DFCC Bank, recently held a special event to show appreciation for women police officers. The event, held at the Child and Women Bureau at Kandy Police Headquarters, recognised the role of female police officers and their commitment to safeguarding our communities.
