A group of tourists of about 700 has reportedly visited the Yala National Park, however, some of them have not gained sufficient time to visit the National Park since they had to wait in queues for a long period for obtaining entrance tickets.

Later, the Minister of Wildlife and Forest Conservation, Mahinda Amaraweera had arranged measures to grant them an additional one and half hours to visit the national park.
