The Punjab government decided on Wednesday to enforce the one-dish policy with strict measures, expanding its application to weddings held at farmhouses and private homes.
The decision was made in response to the growing concerns over the financial burden on parents, particularly those from lower-income backgrounds.
Moreover, the Punjab's chief minister had expressed his strong disapproval of violations of the one-dish policy.
He highlighted that multiple dishes at weddings only added unnecessary financial strain on families, especially those with limited resources.
"If any violations occur, the responsible Deputy Commissioner will be held accountable," the chief minister stated.
The chief minister had instructed all the deputy commissioners and relevant authorities to closely monitor wedding events and ensure the strict enforcement of the one-dish policy.
