FIA Secretary and Event Chair for the attempts Mr. Pravin Bansal said that the endeavor required massive efforts and the whole team of FIA volunteers had been working day and night for the past few months especially since the logistics were a big challenge in itself. However, the fact that we did it makes us forget about all the trials and tribulations.
More than 1500 volunteers who registered for the Record on FIA website turned up early in the morning and the prevalent atmosphere was of patriotic fervour as the lead conductor Padamshri Kailash Kher dang 'Hindustan Meri Jaan tu... @nd the whole gathering of thousands joined him.
