Four go missing in Rangala forest

Four persons, who went to see the Gonawala Waterfall in the Rangala Forest of the Knuckles mountain range, have not returned home, the Ragala Police said.

A search operation had been launched with the help from the area people and other volunteers, after the wife of one of the trekkers, lodged a complaint with the Police.

The Police said they believed the group -aged between 18 and 32- from the Ragala area, lost their way on their return journey. They said that the group had gone Sunday evening to see the waterfall.
