The Prime Minister spent a few hours in Kalyan where he inaugurated housing and infrastructure projects worth Rs 41,000 crore, but his visit proved very costly for many residents. Due to restrictions because of the visit, a man had to get his daughter married in their building premises. Over 50 shopkeepers had to close their shops, two police personnel were injured in an accident and even a cremation was stopped midway.
Wedding in the building
His daughter's wedding day was understandably big for Hasu Pawar, a resident of Lal Chowki. But his dream was shattered when two days before, he got a list of things not to do, from the police. Pawar said, "They told me that we couldn't take the baraat with band baja. We would have to park about a km away and walk to the hall. How could my guests arrive? We cancelled the hall, got our money back, and set up a stage in our building's parking lot. We could play music and roam about freely."
