13 is extremely LUCKY.


In 13 hours and 10 minutes, a 13-year-old girl Ms. Jiya Rai with Autism swam 29 kms across Palk Strait which connects India and Sri Lanka.


Tamil Nadu’s DGP Sylendra Babu, who received Rai, said that the stretch is filled with water snakes, jellyfish and rapidly changing currents that it takes 3-4 hours sometimes to just swim a kilometre. “There are several such dangers here. This takes a lot of willpower,” said Babu.
