The Maha Kumbh Mela Authority in Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, is attempting to set a Guinness World Record for the largest number of people working to clean a river at different locations simultaneously. On Friday, more than 300 sanitation workers were deployed to clean the Ganges at multiple locations along the river's ghats. Representatives from the Guinness World Records closely monitored the activities of the sanitation workers to ensure that each of them worked simultaneously at all the locations, making the effort eligible for the Guinness record. They will verify the entire process and once the record is certified, they will issue a certificate, according to the officials.
