NEW DELHI: The weekend is going to see around 10,000 marriages taking place and for those Delhiites not attending any function, avoid getting out as you might get stuck in a traffic jam.

Said Neeraj Sharma from Ram Mandir: "Around 10,000 marriages are expected to take place in the city over the weekend. The next heavy wedding dates in this year are going to be on December 3 and 12.'' While farmhouses and banquet halls are supposed to provide for adequate parking space, none of them make necessary arrangements causing cars to be parked on the roads.

Said Shweta Roy: "I have to attend two marriages on Saturday and will have to get out by 7 pm to ensure I get to both as there is bound to be huge traffic jams on the roads especially around Chhatarpur area.''

Said an employee of an event management company: "Banquet halls, farmhouses etc have been booked as long back as a year by people.'' While bands are not allowed to play after 10 pm as per rules set by Municipal Corporation of Delhi, this rule is being openly flouted by people, along with others such as not allowing horse-drawn carriages on roads outside farmhouses.
