Summary:
What is more interesting is the fact that the blanket ban has been a unanimous decision taken by elders of villages 25 years back. The decision has been religious followed for so many years.“The villagers had taken this decision 25 years ago to save money. A DJ or a band charge thousands of rupees, which only add to the financial burden of the families,” said Jayanti Rathwa, sarpanch of Malaja. Vadodara: Marriage season is peaking and revellers are splurging on cacophonous crackers and deafening DJ music showing little concern about the nuisance caused.But, the scene in remote Malaja and Devaliya village of Chhota Udepur has been a stark contrast to such wild celebrations seen in big fat weddings. A couple in the vilage recently tied the nuptial knots, but there neither music, nor dance or crackers.Setting an example of austerity and awareness, the people in these far-flung villages can teach a lesson or two in austerity and curbing noise and air pollution to others.The two villages, which are at a distance of 17 km from each, have prohibited DJs and brass bands during weddings to save money..
