Minister Wimal Weerawansa’s wife Shashi who left with a group on Sunday to pay homage to a shrine in the Yala National Park had got lost in the deep jungles until three police teams rescued them yesterday, police said.

The group was on a pilgrimage to pay homage to a shrine called the Kebiliththa Temple at Yala Block IV in the Hambantota District, when one of their three vehicles got stuck in the mud on the jungle road.

The group had lost communications with others and was unable to find their way back, police said.

However three police teams had been deployed to locate the Minister’s wife and others and they were finally rescued around 10.00 am yesterday, police said.

Kebiliththa is extremely secread area it is in the thick jungle in Yala block 1V. If you are visiting this secread place you have to follow certain rituals also what I have heard was Women are not recommended to visit. It is unbelievable the feeling when you are there. I will never forget the journey. I have lot of faith in this place. I have some photographs & video of the worshipful place.

What do they mean "lost communication with the others" ? Were they at Yala or in the Bermuda Triangle ?
