The Andaman and Nicobar Islands has set a new Guinness World Record by unfurling the world’s largest underwater national flag at Radhanagar Beach on Swaraj Dweep (Havelock Island). The massive Indian Tricolour, measuring around 60 by 40 metres, was deployed beneath the sea in a highly coordinated operation involving over 200 trained divers and multiple agencies. Officials said the complex effort required precise planning and strict safety protocols, with participation from the Navy, Coast Guard, police, and diving teams. The achievement marks a significant milestone, showcasing India’s capability in large-scale underwater operations while boosting the region’s global tourism appeal.
