Chandigarh, September 26
The Punjab Marriage Palace and Resort Association (PMPARA) has urged the state government to reopen marriage palaces and resorts by putting a cap on the number of guests allowed.
PMPARA president Sukhdev Singh Sidhu, during a media interaction here, said a minimum of 300 guests or guests equal to half of the palace or resort’s seating capacity must be allowed.
“Generally, marriage palaces have 10,000 to 1 lakh sq feet of open space, besides 5,000 sq feet to 30,000 sq feet of banquet halls. While hotels, restaurants, malls, gyms and markets have been allowed to open, why have marriage palaces not been given the approval? Besides, SOPs can be easily followed in resorts and palaces,” said Sidhu. The PMPARA has already handed over a letter in this regard to CM Capt Amarinder Singh via the Group of Ministers.
