The 'haldi' ceremony of a woman police constable appointed at the Dungarpur kotwali in Rajasthan was held at the police station premises, as she failed to get her leave sanctioned amid the lockdown in place in the state in the wake of surging Covid-19 cases.

The bride to be, Asha, said that her wedding was scheduled in May last year, but it was postponed due to the nationwide lockdown and Corona scare. At that time, the wedding date was fixed on April 30, 2021.
