The Andaman and Nicobar administration on Saturday set a new Guinness World Record by unfurling the world's largest underwater national flag at Radhanagar beach. The massive Tricolour, measuring approximately 60 by 40 metre, was deployed beneath the sea in a complex, tightly coordinated operation, involving multiple agencies and trained divers at Swaraj Dweep (Havelock Island). Lieutenant Governor DK Joshi, Chief Secretary Chandra Bhushan Kumar, and Director General of Police HS Dhaliwal, along with senior officials, were present to witness the event. Upon completion of the unfurling at 1035 hrs, Rishi Nath, Adjudicator from Guinness World Records, officially announced the creation of a new world record and presented the Guinness World Records certificate to the Lt Governor of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands.
