A tragic incident has come to light from Bihar’s Sitamarhi district where a groom collapsed on the stage during his wedding ceremony. The reason behind this unfortunate incident was said to be the high decibel of the DJ music being played at the wedding procession. The groom, identified as Surendra Kumar, soon succumbed to his discomfort and died on the way to the hospital.

The incident took place during the ‘Varmala’ ceremony when the bride and groom exchange garlands and perform other rituals. The wedding was going as planned until the groom started feeling uncomfortable due to the loud sound of the DJ being played. He complained repeatedly about the high decibel, but the music continued to play.

A few moments later, the groom collapsed on the stage, and the situation turned critical. The family members and the guests immediately rushed him to the local hospital for medical assistance. However, despite their best efforts, Surendra Kumar could not be saved, and he died on the way while being shifted to Sitamarhi for treatment.

This unfortunate incident has raised serious concerns about the use of DJs during wedding ceremonies. The district administration has initiated a probe into the incident and is investigating the use of DJs despite a strict ban on them. According to reports, the use of DJs has been banned in Sitamarhi district to avoid noise pollution.

Following the incident, Dr Rajeev Kumar Mishra, a social activist in the area, has demanded the strict implementation of the ban on DJs. He has urged the administration to take strict action against those who violate the ban and to ensure that such incidents do not occur in the future.

The incident has once again highlighted the need to regulate the use of DJs during weddings and other public events. It is essential to strike a balance between cultural traditions and environmental concerns. Excessive noise pollution not only affects the environment but also poses a significant risk to people’s health, as seen in this unfortunate incident.

While weddings are an integral part of our culture, it is essential to be mindful of the impact they have on the environment and the people around us. The use of DJs and other high-decibel equipment must be regulated, and alternative options must be explored to ensure that such incidents do not occur in the future.

Death of Surendra Kumar is a tragic reminder of the need for responsible behavior during public events. It is crucial to strike a balance between cultural traditions and environmental concerns to ensure the safety and well-being of everyone involved. The administration must take appropriate action to regulate the use of DJs and prevent such incidents from occurring in the future.
