Elderly couple to set record

Dharamsala: A couple who has been enjoying marital bliss for 84 years could enter the Guinness Book of Records as the longest surviving married couple in the world.

Bishambhar Rana, son of 103-year-old Pyara Singh and 101-year-old Hansa Devi, said he had sent the relevant details of his parents to the record keeper’s office last month. “Accepting the application, they have sent me a form in this regard,” he said. After verifying the facts, Guinness would add the couple in their record list. — PTI
