Ranchi: The tent house owners, catering companies and florists in Ranchi are staring at losses as many customers are calling to cancel their bookings or curtail their spending following the state government’s April 6 which has allowed only 200 guests at marriage ceremonies.
Jitendra Prasad, who owns Kamal Catering and Tent House, said, “After almost no work for the most part of last year, the new year had brought some hope and just when things were looking good on the work front, Covid cases started recording a spike and now customers are calling to either postpone their weddings or curtail their work orders. A few families have postponed their marriage to November, citing that it would be difficult to invite only 200 people. They opined that even if they invite only their close friends and relatives, the total number of guests would exceed 200. ”
