According to Guinness World Records, Singh made this attempt as he regularly uses the Metro and saw himself being able to complete it quickly.
Despite all of the work and preparation in the lead up to the attempt, Singh was aware that it would be a physically and mentally demanding challenge. The night before he couldn't sleep properly due to anxiety.
"I have been using Delhi Metro for a long time so I am very much aware about the all lines. My planning was from which station and line should I have to start and end so I can completed my record before time," the DMRC employee said.
And, of all of the stations Patel Chowk (Line-2) is his favourite. The station houses a small museum celebrating Delhi and the first modernised transport facility of the country.
