My trip to Minneriya

In late 1975 while working in Kandy Center in SriLanka I happened to visit Minneriya and Polonnaruwa with two of my friends.That was during a day we pay subsistence to workmen who worked in different parts of the country.Three of us started travelling to Minneriya in the evening by a jeep.We started drinking alcohol and on the way one of my friends wanted to drive the vehicle.There were some arguments between my friend and driver which became a real quarrel.At about nearing Minneriya due to upset by one of my friends the jeep ran away and knocked against a ditch.There were no major problems and those injured were admitted to Polonnaruwa hospital.The EE Minneriya came at around 11.00 PM immediately after the accident and took me to his quarters to pass the night.
The particular officer discontinued from the service after the accident on grounds those counted his behavior earlier too.
