Amid coal shortage, different areas in Madhya Pradesh are facing power outages and one such power cut turned disastrous as brides got exchanged in a family function where four marriages were taking place in the Ujjain district simultaneously.
Due to the power cut, two brides sat with the wrong grooms and performed puja and rituals. When the power came back, panic struck the function when the brides were taken for pheres with wrong matches. However, the families concerned sat together and after discussions, the right matches were asked to take phere again.
The affected families accused the local administration of inflicting power cuts from 7 pm to 12 midnight daily which is why the brides were exchanged mistakenly due to the dark. Locals claimed that brides were putting on matching dresses so the grooms’ families could not identify them properly in the dark.
