Agra:
A post-graduate student of the Taj city has claimed creating the
world's biggest envelope to carry the message of "Save Taj Mahal
from polluted Yamuna".
Garima Angel, a student of M.Sc. final year in Agra College here,
told IANS Sunday: "I have set a new world record for the Guinness
World Records. My envelope is 14.51 metres long, 9.86 metres wide
and weighs around 50 kg. It's made of card sheets joined by glue,
and is yellow in colour."
The earlier record was held by Aligarh Muslim University students
who last year made an envelope 11.02 metres long and 7.61 metres
wide, Garima said.
It took her more than a month to finish the job. "I finished it on
my birthday a few days ago," she said.
The objective is to highlight the grim problem of environmental
pollution and how a dirty river was posing a threat to the Taj
Mahal, Garima said.
The envelope would be on display in the city for a few days, she
said, adding that it would later be sent to President Pranab
Mukherjee or Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.
Written messages of Taj lovers would be placed inside before the
the envelope is dispatched, said Garima. She is working out the
logistics for sending it to Delhi through a courier.
