At 12, when the maha-wedding-sabha was to take place, our reporters, Akhil and Sreshti, saw a sea of police, waiting with barricades, in anticipation of the protests to happen.
Amid all the commotion, the vice-president of Hindu Marriage Bureau appeared. "He was all pro-loving and proactive in getting anyone married then and there, as long as they were willing to," said Sreshti.
On being asked what they plan to do with the bus full of people, a police officer replied, "Arre aise hi ek do ghante ghumake chodh denge. Aur kya karna hai."
