World Oldest Man In INDIA

 A retired cobbler from northern India, Mahashta Murasi, claims he was born in January 1835, making him not only the oldest man on earth, but the oldest to have ever lived, according to the Guinness World Records.

According to indian officials, the man was born at home in the city of Bangalore on January 6th 1835, and is recorded to have lived in Varanasi since 1903. He worked as a cobbler in the city until 1957, when he retired at the already venerable age of 122.

"I have been alive so long, that my great grand-children have been dead for years" explains Mr Murasi. "Somehow death forgot about me. And now there's hardly any hope left. Look at the statistics, nobody dies past 150, even less at 170. At that point, I guess I'm immortal or something. I might as well enjoy it!" 

The information about the purported 179-year-old man actually originated with a fictitious story published by World News Daily Report on 28 February 2014. That site's stock in trade the posting of fake news articles, and a disclaimer on the site states that all "news articles contained within worldnewsdailyreport.com are fiction, and presumably fake news."

OKay, this story about the 179-year-old man in India is fake, but is it possible? According to the Guinness Book of World Records, the longest documented human lifespan is that of Jeanne Louise Calment, who was born in France on

21 February 1875 and passed away at the age of 122 on 4 August 1997.

Fire at Kerala's Puttingal temple leaves 84 dead

Eighty-four people have died in a fire at Puttingal temple in Paravur in the Indian state of Kerala, police say.

The fire started about 03:30 (22:15 GMT Saturday) when an explosion was set off in a store of fireworks ready for celebrations of a local Hindu new year festival, local media reports say.

A building at the temple then collapsed, causing many of the fatalities. More than 200 are injured.

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is travelling to the scene.

He tweeted that the accident was "heart-rending and shocking beyond words".

Those with most serious burns injuries are being treated at the government medical college in Thiruvananthapuram, the state capital.

The impact of the blast was felt in houses up to a kilometre away.

"Huge pieces of concrete were flying through the air. Chunks landed in our yard," said resident Jayashree Harikrishnan.

Kerala's Home Minister Ramesh Chennithala has ordered in an investigation into the accident.

"The temple holds an annual firework display every year. We're doing our best to rescue those still trapped," said Mr Chennithala.

"Now the situation is under control... the police are on the spot."

Kerala Chief Minister Oommen Chandy is also due to visit the scene this morning.

The fireworks had been stored ready for celebrations on Thursday of Vishu, a Keralan festival marking the Hindu new year.

Local reports say that police had not given permission for Puttingal temple to hold the fireworks display.

The police are reportedly taking action against the temple administration and the contractors who were putting on the firework display.

Fireworks and firecrackers are commonly used at temple festivals and other public events and accidents are not uncommon.
