A group of 60 people, who in a drunken stupor had attempted to climb Adam’s peak with 15 bottles of arrack in their possession, were apprehended by the Nawalapitiya Police and were asked to kneel till they were sober.

The group believed to be from Polgahawela included a priest and individuals claiming to be from the army. The police had also directed the individuals to destroy the remaining bottles before allowing them to go with a stern warning.
