London, May 25: A mother and son from Haryana created history in Britain after both were elected as mayors in local council elections in the United Kingdom.
Parveen Rani and her son Tushar Kumar, originally from Rohtak district in Haryana, achieved the rare distinction after their family migrated to the UK in 2013.
Tushar Kumar, aged 23, became the youngest mayor of the Elstree and Borehamwood Town Council. Meanwhile, Parveen Rani was elected as the first Indian origin mayor of the Hertsmere Borough Council.
