Bridegroom Saurabh Chauhan is a revenue officer (lekhpal) and bride Prince is a retired army jawan’s daughter.

Chauhan’s gesture garnered praise from villagers.

National president of Kisan Mazdoor Sangathan Thakur Puran Singh said this could serve as the first step towards a positive change.

Amarpal, a villager, said the groom’s gesture will serve as an example for others.
