Two young men, Abdullah Tanseer and Haider Mustafa Qureshi, have achieved a remarkable feat by setting a new world record for the largest planted word formation. The duo accomplished this extraordinary endeavor by arranging 3,296 saplings of an indigenous species to spell out the word “TAKMEEL” across an expansive area of 1,200 square feet.
Collaboration and Preparation
The record-breaking project was made possible through a collaboration between the two men, Takmeel Square officials, and Paksarzameen. To ensure the suitability of the saplings for the specific region, the participants consulted with the Department of Forestry in the collection of the plants.
Execution and Verification
The project commenced with outlining the word “TAKMEEL” using white chalk. Participants then diligently dug, planted, and watered the saplings to create the formation. Throughout the process, independent personnel were present to ensure that the record-setting was done accurately and according to the established guidelines.
Confirmation and Impact
The incredible achievement of Tanseer and Qureshi was officially recognized by Guinness World Records on Tuesday, solidifying their place in history. Notably, they are the first individuals from Pakistan to set a world record in this category.
A Call for Environmental Conservation
Expressing their joy over their accomplishment, Tanseer said,
“We are very happy to have set this world record. We hope that this will inspire other young people to get involved in environmental conservation.”
Qureshi added,
“We want to thank everyone who helped us make this project a success. We are proud to have represented Pakistan on the world stage.”
Future Plans
Not content with their already remarkable achievement, the determined pair is now planning to further their efforts in promoting environmental conservation by planting more trees in Bahawalpur.
