While normalcy has returned to violence-hit Khargone town of Madhya Pradesh, people are still facing problems as many weddings have been called off because the families are refusing to hold weddings in riot-affected areas. The people of Sanjay Nagar Basti of Khargone town are still facing the brunt of the violence. The mob not only burnt their houses to ashes but also filled their future life with difficulties. "My son's wedding got called off as rioters looted my house during Ram Navami; in-laws saw that and said it is not feasible to live here as riots and stone-pelting happen here. They say that the wedding will happen only if we buy a plot," a local told ANI.
Some of the families were also forced to postpone the marriage of daughters due to the violence that took place during a Ram Navami procession. “Stone pelting took place in Talab Chowk during Ram Navami. my sister's wedding material, kept in a neighbour's house got looted during the violence. I am in talks with the groom's side, will extend the wedding date due to these riots," another local said.
