DIBRUGARH,
March 3 - A team of young boys from the city, who flew a bunch of kites on the
banks of Brahmaputra on the Republic Day last year, have won the Limca Book of
Records certificate for the feat. The record, categorised as the national record
2010, was a display of altogether 50 kites on a single line with electric lights
attached on them. The small electrical lights on the kites were lit with power
from the ground. The
team members include Shivaji Bora, Zaheer Abbas Kayum, Washif Alam Abbas, Toshif
Abbas, Rupam Das and Sabir Abbas. The boys who have now chosen to be known as
Flying High Club received the recognition on February 25 recently. It
is to be mentioned that these boys had flown 315 kites on a single string at night
and then 715 kites during the day in 2002. In 2003, the kite flying enthusiasts
tried two testing kites of about 7 feet with lights attached. In 2008, Zaheer
won the kite flying competition held on Joggers Park, |
