Hence, the marriages were conducted following the guidelines to avert the Corona infection.

The wedding season will start from April now. Now, the government has issued strict guidelines again. The AMC issued notices to the Mangal Karyalayas now. As the new guidelines were declared two days before the wedding, there was chaos among the organizers. They had to tell many people not to come to the marriage ceremony on phones.
