Lavish Indian wedding at Auli leaves behind 240 quintals of garbage

A big fat Indian wedding at the beautiful Himalayan ski resort of Auli has left behind 24000 kg of garbage, thus turning one of the most serene locals in the Himalayas into a back alley of Delhi. The wedding that took place last weekend in the charming little town of Auli cost the hosts INR 200 crore. The wedding was hosted by the Gupta family, an NRI business family from South Africa.
A total of 30 workers are assigned to the task of cleaning this place, with 3-4 trucks assigned daily. According to the state government officials, the cleaning work should be over by this coming Sunday. However, the Gupta family had paid INR 54000 to the local authorities as a user charge, and at the same time has assured that they will take care of the clean-up cost, alongside the cost of manual labour, and vehicles.


It should be noted that the municipality has not yet raised an environmental alarm regarding the wedding, and the cleaning is continuing as planned.
