Wedding card with 301 names of hosts goes viral at Jodhpur; family penalized for violating Covid-19 guidelines

The Rajasthan government has banned a gathering of more than 50 people in weddings due to the Covid-19 situation; however, a family in Jodhpur printed as many as 301 names of hosts on the wedding invitation card. As the card went viral on social media, the local administration served the family with a notice, apart from imposing a fine of Rs 25,000.

According to preliminary reports, the cards were printed by a government school principal – Mohanlal Vishnoi – for the weddings of his son and daughter. The wedding rituals took place in Motai village in Phalodi panchayat samiti area. The local BDO (block development officer) inspected the wedding venue after the card went viral on social media and slapped a fine of Rs 25,000 when more than 50 people were found in attendance.

As per the Covid-19 guidelines, no more than 50 people can attend wedding rituals in Rajasthan. The families are required to obtain prior permission from the local additional district magistrate (ADM) for the wedding. However, all these guidelines were violated by the family.
