Bhubaneswar: Although the state government has set a maximum limit of 100 guests in Weddings, most parties witness clear violations of the rules.
Taking opportunities for situations, catering, organizers of events and mandap owners have urged the government to increase guest limits to 250 on social functions.
“Even though the government has imposed restrictions, people do not hold on to the rules.
Because there has been a meeting on social events, the government must make a guest limit to 250,” said Binay Bhushan Patnaik, President of All Odisha Tent, Caterer, Flower, Light and Sound Association .
To accommodate more guests, wedding planners and organizers have made an alternative plan.
While some ordered venues on behalf of two different people from the same family for different occasions, others chose two or more venues for various rituals and events.
Due to the lack of enforcement of Covid-19 guidelines, most of the social meetings were found crowded.
“Marriage is a lifetime event.
We have been waiting for the past two years to do the only marriage of my sons magnificent.
But because Covid-19 cases began to increase again, the restrictions on 100 guests were implemented.
Even after a few changes, we have ended with 250 Guests will be invited, “said Jitendra Balenda, a senior citizen.
Guidelines, issued by the Special Assistance Commissioner (SRC) on January 5, said next to marriage and other acceptance, all other related events must be arranged at home only with family members.
