CM to take step to enforce wedding laws
Delhi chief minister Sheila Dikshit will write and ask to the police and the MCD to enforce rules so that social functions like marriages do not become nuisance for the neighbourhood and result in traffic snarls.
The Congress legislative party meeting on Tuesday saw a number of party MLAs raising the issue of marriage parties clogging traffic apart from being nuisance to the neighbourhood.
The Congress MLAs raised the issue, apparently peeved after the lavish marriage party hosted by the party leader Karan Singh Tanwar, who had earlier been in the BSP and was the richest candidate in the capital to have contested the Assembly election.
The CLP passed a resolution to condemn lavish marriage parties in the city and called upon party leaders to be modest when they themselves throw parties. Congress leader and former Delhi minister Narendra Nath said that the rules on social functions are already there which prohibit use of loud music and fire crackers but they are hardly being enforced.
A number of MLAs, who raised the issue in the CLP, also mentioned that they are being invited to a score of weddings each day and they have been encountering traffic snarls due to marriage parties taking much of the road space.
