College forms human chain; claims to have broken world record

A private college claimed to have broken a world record here today by forming a "human chain" consisting of 401 participants as per their height in the descending order (tallest to shortest).
The college management claimed that it has achieved the feat by breaking the world record achieved by staffers of a Polish bank two years ago.
The event was organised by Aaghaaz Entrepreneurship Cell of Prestige Institute of Management and Research (PIMR) at Vijay Nagar area, college sources said.
The human chain was formed with the help of 401 participants standing in a descending order as per their height to break the world record achieved by a Polish bank in 2013, the function's co-ordinator Puneet Kumar Dwivedi told reporters here.

He said that the tallest and shortest participants were of six feet and two inches as well as four feet and four inches respectively, adding that all those who participated in the event were 15 years or above.
He said that the longest human chain was created by the Polish BGZ Bank's 311 staffers at their annual conference on March 21, 2013, which has been listed in the Guinness Book of World Records.
