Indore: Madhya Pradesh’s Indore on Saturday made it to the Guinness World Records for making a geographical map of India through a human chain.
The event came in view of PM Modi’s Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav, which commemorates the 75th Independence day. The huge gathering was organized by the social institution ‘Jwala’at Divya Shaktipeeth. More than 5000 students, social workers and other people joined hands to make the huge map.
Interacting with the media, Dr Divya Gupta founder of Jwala said – the attempts were made to create a new world record by breaking the world record for making a human chain in geographical shape.
“We had made a human chain on the map of India, and not only on the border but also inside it. Earlier, a human chain was formed on the boundary line of the country’s map, but we gathered people inside by making tricolour and blue Ashok Chakra in the middle. Total 5,335 people participated in this event,” she further said.
“Shri Shakti was made on the boundary of the map of India to show the importance and strength of the women of the country,” she added.
