The superintendent of police of Bhind district in Madhya Pradesh has come up with an idea to get people who host wedding functions in his jurisdiction to adhere to Covid-19 norms. The bride and groom at wedding ceremonies that have 10 or fewer guests will be treated to a sumptuous home dinner, superintendent of police Manoj Kumar Singh said on Monday.
The maximum number of guests allowed at wedding functions as per state government norms stands at 50.
The idea came after Bhind was shown in a poor light a week earlier due to images that went viral of people without masks revelling and dancing to music at a wedding function in Kurthara village.
