Punjab village hosts 'Idle Sitting' contest

Punjab village hosts 'Idle Sitting' contest

In a small village in Punjab, India, 55 people took part in a unique contest called 'Idle Sitting'.

The goal was to sit in one spot for as long as possible without using their phones, getting up, sleeping, or going to the bathroom.

Two young men won the contest after sitting for 31 hours.

The contest was organized to show people how important it is to take a break from digital devices and spend time away from screens.

The rules were simple, but following them was quite challenging.

The contest was a fun way to raise awareness about the negative effects of too much screen time.
