Bhubaneswar: Trust in a person’s ability coupled with strong will and determination can make miracles occur.
This was proven on Sunday when a 28-year-old young man, who was paralyzed from the waist fell after an accident on Jalan eight years ago, tried to enter the Guinness World Records by covering the maximum distance in a wheelchair in 24 hours.
Even though the confirmation was awaited, Kamal Kanta Nayak included 213 km in 24 hours on track between the master canteen to Raj Mahal Square in this city in an effort to break the previous record 182 km.
Starting at 4:30 in the afternoon on Saturday, Kamal continued to ride a wheelchair and took a two-hour break for food, hydration, and other needs.
