NAVSARI: Three world records were set at two events held to celebrate the 66th birthday of Prime Minister Narendra Modi at Navsari in south Gujarat, Union Minister Thawar Chand Gehlot said today.
While one record- most persons (989) lighting earthen lamps within 30 seconds- was set last evening, another two feats were achieved today in the presence of Modi, he said.
All the three events were held at the same venue in Navsari.
Today’s records are: 1,000 differently-abled persons making a formation on wheelchairs at a single venue creating the largest wheelchair logo; and 1,700 deaf persons being distributed 3,400 hearing aid machines at one place.
“We have broken three world records here. The records were made in the presence of representatives of the Guinness World Records,” Gehlot, Union Minister of Social Justice and Empowerment, said while addressing people at Navsari in the presence of Modi. (AGENCIES)
