This flood became memorable forever for Awadhesh, a resident of village Akat in Badaun district. Friends made a boat out of a tube and helped Awadhesh, who was the groom, cross the flood water. They walked a long distance in the flood water carrying the groom on their shoulders. Friends worked very hard to get the groom married on time. There were many special relatives whose dream of seeing the wedding remained unfulfilled and they could not attend due to the rising water.
Actually, due to floods, life in Dataganj has been affected. In such a situation, people are facing a lot of problems even in the marriages which were already proposed. Roshan Lal Kashyap, a resident of village Akat, had his son Awadhesh’s wedding procession to go to Hardattpur in Sahaswan on Thursday. Since morning, the family members were busy making arrangements to take the groom through seven kilometers of water.
Somehow 18 youngsters prepared a tube boat. After this they made Awadhesh sit in it and crossed the flood water. After that the wedding procession could leave by vehicle. The women entered the water and bid farewell to the wedding procession. At the same time, Awadhesh, a resident of village Akat, who became the groom, said that the marriage was already fixed. Due to sudden floods, the village got surrounded by water. Friends worked hard and put the tube boat in the water and took them to a safe place. This wedding will be memorable.
