Celebratory Gunfire Cause Deaths at Indian Marriages

A Raise in Number of Injuries Deaths Caused by Festive Gunfire in Indian Marriages is Becoming Alarming

In India these days, the overwhelming number of injuries and deaths triggered by extensive use of congratulatory gunfire at matrimonial events has shaken the authorities at every level and prompted for an immediate action

Even the events organised at the Indian wedding venues are also reported to have faced these unfortunate losses. Despite of the fact that it is prohibited at many places, people still endanger their own and others’ lives.

Why do People Fire at the Weddings?


It is customary in many parts of India to welcome couples into their new married life. The people who carry out this ritual are normally the male members of groom’s or bride’s family and guests. Their intentions may not be of harming anyone but unfortunately,

the figure of these accidents is rising. They somehow lose control over their firearm and innocent people lose their lives.

What Happened Recently?


Only in the month of March, there have been so many incidents reported where the congratulatory gunfire at this happy occasion turned it into a dark day for many. For instance, at a wedding procession when a guest accidently shot groom’s father in the head.

Then there was another accident that occurred in Jandla, one of eight gunmen shot groom’s father right into the head after losing control over his firearm.

In the northern state of Uttar Pardesh, there is a small place by the name Raipur Bhood. The photographer was shot in stomach by one of groom’s relatives. He was immediately rushed to the hospital but unfortunately he couldn’t survive and died.

Then there was an incident which took place in Alipur, the suburbs of Delhi, where an armed guest took his pistol and shotgun out and started firing at the ground and in air all together. He was so drunk that before he could realise, he shot five other guests at the wedding in their legs and feet. All the victims were rushed to the hospital and admitted.

Has Anyone Taken any Action Against it?


This rising number has rung the bells at all ends and Lucknow court was the first one to take an action. It ordered an immediate stop to the celebratory gunfire and an open investigation to determine the ways to put a ban on it.

The Delhi court was second to step forward where Judge Manoj Jain said that the fashion of celebratory gun firing during wedding processions has to be stopped. It is really important that government should make arms licence procurement procedure more clear and strict and there should be some sort of instrument to ensure the lawful use of these arms licences.

It’s not just the courts or the police that needs to put a stop to such a deadly custom, realising this, some families have taken initiative and strictly forbidden guests to carry weapons at the wedding ceremony. They are sending invites out with “No Weapons” clearly written on the cards.

Tips on Selecting the Best Meeting Venue

The Most Important Part Of The Organization Process Is Always The Venue.

If you get that wrong you are risking the whole day going wrong. If you get it right then other mistakes and things that go wrong actually don’t matter so much. Here are 10 points that you should keep in mind when booking a venue and if you stick to these then you’re safe and need not worry.
First of all, where is your venue? Is it easily accessible? Is the route to your location long and is there a risk of heavy traffic? You have to ensure that the location you choose will be easily accessed by those invited. If most of your guests are getting lost on the way or stuck in traffic then you will have half arriving late and the other half arriving stressed and irritable. We can agree that would not be a good start to your event. You can get premium meeting rooms Croydon for effective meeting.

How Much Does it Cost?

The first thing you should do when you decide to have an event is set a budget, think it through and ask around before you decide on how much you are willing to spend on the cause. Once you have decided, no matter how tempted you are do not change your budget or send more just because you are blown away by the fancy lights or expensive technology of a venue. Decide on what you want from the venue then how much you are willing to spend, as long as both of these are in line you don’t need to increase your budget based on something that might look a bit better. If there are no interruptions and all you need is provided then changing your budget will end in regret.

Check the Facilities Before Booking:

It must be emphasized that the checking should be done before booking. Don’t be afraid to ask questions and take your time deciding because the last thing you want is to sign the papers and then realize that it’s not a suitable venue.
That would be a disaster, most venues just want to make money and will most probably not be understanding or sympathize.
A business meeting has a few basic necessities so tick them off:
·         Is there a dedicated meeting room?
·         Is all the technology you need available?
·         Is there unlimited Wi-Fi?
·         Is the technology up to date and well maintained?
·         Does the room have easy access to switches, cables and other necessary gadgets for an effective business meeting?
These are just basic questions that you should ask before booking but be sure to think and jot down any more requirements that you may have before booking. Ask the manager of the meeting venue and make sure you have it written that all these things will be provided. It’s easy for the venue staff to retract their words if you have no proof. The best way to protect yourself and your event is to ask questions by email so you have written proof. You can always confirm face to face later on.

Take Note of the Venue Staffs Manner:

This means are you happy with the way they are dealing with your enquiries? Are they getting back to you on time and satisfying your curiosities and qualms? You will get an idea early on of how positive the response is and that should either pull you in or keep you away. Don’t ignore the signs of lazy and irresponsible customer service.

Make Notes before the Site Visit:

It’s easy to forget what you wanted to ask and what you needed it check once you get there, especially if you are distracted by things pleasing to you. Make a note of everything you need to check before you go and once there make a note of what you found. It’s a good idea to take someone with you for a second opinion, you can’t do it all alone and something you may miss your partner may notice.

Is There Car Parking?

This is a must for a conference as most people will turn up in cars and won’t want to waste their time looking for parking or end up with fines. That will not leave a good impression on your guests. If the parking nearby is pay parking then try to arrange some sort of ease for your guests as no one will like to fork out a wad of money for full day parking in a high profile area.
As well as this some parking tickets expire after an hour and that means your guest will have to leave to check their cars which is a disturbance and inconvenience.

Arrange Food:

If you will not be providing food then make sure there is somewhere nearby where your guests can grab some lunch on the breaks. Conferences can be tiring and nobody will want to take their car out and have to drive out far to get some food. 
If you provide food and drink then this will create ease and a relaxed mood for all those invited. Spending the money is worth not having irritated or hungry guests who are just waiting to leave. Don’t forget to offer food for any special needs that your guests may have whether it’s a vegetarian or kosher/halal option.

 Get the Venue Size Right:

Having a huge room for a few people will just look odd no matter how fancy it is. Likewise a small room for too many people will be uncomfortable and irritating especially if it is a full day conference. Arrange the venue right as comfort is directly linked to the success.

Make Your Accommodation Suitable:

If your conference is lasting more than a day then you need to make sure your guests have a comfortable place to stay and there are facilities for the disabled and special needs. For business working guests the accommodation should have wifi as most people will need to connect with their jobs and companies.

Do it together, do it forever

There are many gifts in life to be thankful for and thanksgiving is often a day when we be thankful for our health, our provisions and our relationships. This thanksgiving a beautiful idea is to give a special thanks for your marriage. Every day we should count our blessings to have a spouse that we love and cherish and find companionship with. However just like mother’s day and father’s day renew our love and restir our memories, let thanksgiving be the refreshment you need to renew your thankfulness and recreate that fresh love and thankfulness that will only make your marriage more beautiful.
Starting from thanksgiving there are four things that will take your marriage to a whole new level:
Write together


Invest in a book that will be placed somewhere in the home accessible to both you and your spouse throughout the day. An idea is somewhere in the kitchen as this is a central place of the home, and typically every man’s favourite place. Call this book the ‘I love you for…’. Each day let you and your partner write down a new I love you point and let it be focused on something small that the other has done for you that day. These small things creating a profession of love will not only make you both feel appreciated, it will also cause a system of gratification and be a small way that brightens your day and cheers you up when you’re feeling blue.
Talk together


This again can begin on the day of thanksgiving and then continue this making it a routine whenever the both of you have spare time, or even make time for this. The fresh air, walking whilst holding hands and the small act of taking this time out for each other will work as a refreshment and will strengthen your relationship. Breathe in and enjoy your marriage being thankful for each step you take, on the walk and in your life.
Pray together

Praying for your spouse is important and is beautiful in every way. Even more beautiful and strengthening to your marriage is to pray together, it doesn’t have to be a long, boring amen before dinner prayer. Just a simple prayer from your heart while sitting with your spouse will inspire the same and will create a connection between you that reaches a deeper level making it between you, your spouse and god.
Look together

By this I don’t mean act like crazy people looking at the same books and movies until you bore each other to death, literalizing till death do us part. No, look together in the same direction. Respect each other’s goals and wishes and look together to the achievements and struggles, looking together meanings getting through it together, enjoying it together and staying together. Look together towards those in need, help together those who need a hand and that will in turn strengthen your marriage and keep your bond together and strong forever.
