Longest towel in the world

New Delhi Aug. 15. Enthusiastic students of the G. D. Goenka School today unfurled the longest towel in the world and it will secure a place in the Limca Book of Records.

``Indians now have the freedom to hoist the national flag wherever and whenever they feel like it and not just on Independence Day and Republic Day, provided they do it with respect,'' the Deputy Prime Minister, L. K. Advani, said here unveiling the 419 km-long towel made by Welspun.

Authenticating the endeavour of the organisation, Brinda Bose Malhotra, Manager Marketing and Public Relations Limca Book of Records, said, ``surely this towel of such proportions is the only one in the world that we have heard of.''

``Generally we close entries by May 31. But in this case we made an exception.''
