  "account": "Delhi Metro employee Prafull Singh has set a new Guinness World Record by traveling across all metro stations in the city in just 14 hours, 54 minutes, and 36 seconds. Singh started his journey at 6 AM from Raja Nahar Singh station on the Violet Line and finished at Gurugram s Millennium City Centre station at around 9 PM on May 23. This time, he managed to break the previous record, which was set by Sujoy Kumar Mitra and Shipra Gupta in June 2023, who took 15 hours, 21 minutes, and 4 seconds. Singh's success can be attributed to his extensive knowledge of train timings, routes, and operating rules, gained from his role as a DMRC operations employee. He had previously held the title in 2022 but managed to improve his performance this time, overcoming delays caused by taking the wrong route. Singh emphasized that the record highlights the Delhi Metro's vast scale and underscores the importance of public transportation. As an Ironman triathlete, Singh is no stranger to endurance challenges. In 2021, he held the record for cycling 3,000 km indoors in 134 hours. For his next endeavor, Singh plans to swim from India to Sri Lanka to raise awareness and funds for cancer research.",
