Speaking at the closing ceremony on Thursday, refugee youths Neel Hari Upreti and Dik Man Gurung expressed their determination to set a Guinness World Record by shaking their hands continuously for 70 hours in near future.
"Our attempt has already challenged the existing record of 44 hours by two Nepalese brothers. We'll set a new record of at least 70 hours in near future," Upreti told local mediapersons in Jhapa, announcing his future plans to set a new record in the said field.
Thousands of refugees expressed their support and solidarity in order to motivate the community youths to break the existing world record on handshaking.
A jury of over three dozen people from various backgrounds examined the event on rotation basis, one of the organising team members Shekher Rizal informed.
