India has achieved a unique milestone beneath the sea, with the Andaman and Nicobar Islands securing a place in the Guinness World Records for unfurling the largest Indian national flag underwater.
The record was set at Radhanagar Beach, where a team of 223 divers, including personnel from the Navy, police and other agencies, carried out the operation.
The achievement is being seen as a display of precision, courage and national pride.
Reacting to the milestone, the Bharatiya Janata Party said the country is “redefining milestones” with the record-setting feat.
“India isn’t just achieving milestones, it is redefining them. In a stunning, first-of-its-kind feat, the Andaman and Nicobar Islands have secured a place in the Guinness World Records by unfurling the largest Indian National Flag underwater. A powerful display of precision, courage, and national pride beneath the waves. This is more than just a record. It is a reflection of a nation that is constantly pushing its limits.
