Seven couples from underprivileged families tied the nuptial knot at a mass wedding function organised by a local social organization, the Citizen Council (CC). The ceremony was solemnized according to Sikh rites.

Local MLA Dr Dharambeer Agnihotri, who was the chief guest at the function, appreciated the good cause of office-bearers of the CC taking interests in social welfare activities. The MLA released a grant of Rs 1 lakh for the CC.

Avtar SinghTaneja, president of the CC, said daily usable articles were given to the newlywed couples as gifts. Many donors of the area liberally donated for the noble cause.
