Meanwhile, authorities have eased norms for weddings in Bhopal and Indore, the two worst-hit districts of the state amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Now, citizens won’t have to take prior permission from the authorities to organize weddings in both the districts.
According to fresh relaxations, 50 persons can attend weddings in Indore, while 40 guests are permitted in Bhopal. Earlier, the maximum limit of wedding guests in Indore was 12 and 20 in Bhopal.
