The event, organized by local Member of Parliament (MP) Manish Jaiswal, sought to assist families grappling with financial and social challenges in facilitating their daughters’ marriages.MP Jaiswal highlighted that this initiative aimed to alleviate the struggles of families confronting economic hardships and societal obstacles, ensuring that financial limitations wouldn’t hinder a dignified wedding.

The ceremony was celebrated as a symbol of community spirit and social responsibility. Notable figures, including Manoj Yadav (MLA, Barhi) and Amit Yadav (MLA, Barkatha), commended the initiative, calling it a remarkable example of collective effort resulting in positive change.

Among the couples were some with truly inspiring stories. Sonu Kumar and Pami Kumari, both differently-abled, drew attention as Sonu arrived in a BMW to escort his bride. Another pair, Sushant Kumar Sahu, who is deaf and mute, and Kajal Kumari, who is visually impaired, demonstrated that love knows no boundaries.

A large crowd gathered to witness and bless the newlyweds, with grooms arriving in beautifully decorated vehicles, warmly welcomed by the community.

To assist the newlyweds in embarking on their married lives, each bride received a scooter, household items, and essential gifts. This thoughtful gesture provided vital support to families that have endured the financial strain of marriage for years.

MP Jaiswal articulated that every father dreams of a beautiful wedding for his daughter, but financial constraints can often be a barrier. He expressed his joy in seeing these dreams come true through the mass wedding and encouraged individuals and organizations to continue supporting similar initiatives in the future.

National: One year after the deadly terror attack in Pahalgam, the nation remembers the 26 people who lost their lives. The attack took place on April 22 at Baisaran, a popular tourist spot.

At first, reports said only five people were injured. Later, it became clear that it was one of the worst terror attacks in the region in decades. Terrorists came out of the forest and opened fire on tourists.

Survivors said the attackers separated men from women and children. They then shot the men at close range. Many victims were reportedly targeted after being asked about their religion.

A heartbreaking image of Himanshi Narwal sitting beside her husband’s body became a symbol of the tragedy. Her husband, a naval officer, was among those killed.

The group The Resistance front, linked to Lashkar-e-Taiba, claimed responsibility. The case was investigated by the National Investigation Agency.

After months of tracking, security forces launched Operation Mahadev. On July 28, 2025, all three terrorists were killed after a long search operation.

The attack remains a painful memory and a reminder of the need for strong security.
