“We will use the five satellites, including three from Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) to click images of the world’s longest human chain,” a government official said on Thursday. 

A five-member team of ISRO has already reached Patna and held meeting with chief secretary Anjani Kumar Singh in this regard. 

Of the total over 20 million people who will be joining hands together to extend support, thousands will be children from 71,000 schools. To make the programme a success, the state government is working overtime.   

Right now, the world record for the longest human chain involving five million people remains with Bangladesh. It was formed on Decembe 11, 2004 along the 1050-km (652.4 miles) route from Teknaf to Tentulia. 

Almost all parties except  Jitan Ram Manjhi’s Hindustani Awam Morch have lent their support to the human chain programme.

 

The government believes the world’s longest human chain will give a new identity to Bihar.
