The Uttar Pradesh government is attempting to create a world record of the longest shuttle bus parade (500 buses) in Prayagraj to beat Abu Dhabi's record of a parade which had 390 public buses.
Prayagraj: Uttar Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation (UPSRTC) attempts Guinness Book of World Records for the longest fleet of 500 buses. The buses with the Kumbh logo will cover a stretch of 3.2 km in the district. #Kumbh2019 pic.twitter.com/zLpCJeeOsO

In a crucial time like this, people all over the nation are wondering if this is necessary.
Here is a video of the parade so that you can see it for yourself.
And some images too.
People on Twitter definitely aren't impressed with this 'development' and here is what they have to say about it.
disgusting show of arrogance & carelessness! No concern for brave heart Wing Commander Abhinandan? This drama can't wait?

Next - they will leave the buses there itself, by which it becomes a tourist spot! - just imagine ppl coming from all over to see the 'worlds longest queue of stationary buses' !

This queue will also be visible from the sky! N aircrafts will fly lower to show this to passengers!
Small minds come up with the most inane ideas. The bigger the crisis, the smaller their comprehension of it

Total nonsense and waste of money

Seriously! And what purpose does this solve!?! Oh wait! Are you bringing our #Abhinandan back in one of these? No? Put your lives and brains to some real use in that case!

Priorities of our government, the nation is on the brink of a war, our Wing Commander #Abhinandan has been captured by the enemy. But optics and elections are more important our public & defense forces be damned!
