Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has appealed to the public to eschew borrowing loans to conduct ostentatious weddings.
Participating in a simple mass marriage ceremony at MM Hills Temple in Chamarajanagar near Mysuru on Wednesday, Mr. Siddaramaiah said the practice of celebrating wedding ceremonies in a grand manner by obtaining loans was unhealthy.
He also called upon people to stop organising extravagant wedding ceremonies by obtaining agriculture loans.
