Completing a continuous handshaking program of 36 hours 12 minutes, two exiled youths from Bhutanese refugee camps have expressed their determination to set a Guinness World Record, Monday.
Neel Hari Upreti of Khudunabari (Sector B-2, Hut No 84) and Dik Man Gurung from Beldangi-II (Sector A-1, 61-62) expressed such determination this morning, ending the event at 12:12 a.m.
They said they have easily completed 36 hours and are committed in breaking the world’s record of 48 hours.
The event held at Khudunabari camp and supported by Media Network Bhutan, attracted hundreds of visitors to boost up the duo’s courage.
“If our community supports us for registration and other probable costs, we’ll set a new record,” Upreti and Gurung told Bhutan News Service.
