India, Hawaii, PA contest results
Ramadan Haleem Eating Contest, Hyderabad, India
The winner of the competition was Mohammad Saleem who managed to eat two kilograms of Haleem in 30 seconds.

The owner of eatery said he organised the competition despite recent terror attacks in the city to ease tension among residents.
“We have organised this competition to make people feel a little relaxed,” said M. A. Majeed, organiser of the competition.
