Bihar state in East India claimed to have forged a world record on Saturday as tens of thousands of people came together in support of prohibition, forming a chain which the ruling party said stretched for more than 11,000 kilometers across 38 districts, according to Hindustan Times.

Officials said three satellites, four trainer aircraft, choppers, and 40 drones filmed the entire event.

“The human chain made of some 2.5 crore (25 million) of its 11 crore (110 million) population holding hands has broken a Guinness world record,” said Ajay Alok, spokesperson of the ruling party. It was, however, not immediately verifiable.

The chain was billed as a social message against alcohol addiction, specifically in favor of the prohibition law that was adopted in the state in 2016.

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and Tibet’s spiritual leader, The Dalai Lama, also had praised this measure.
