Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel has changed the venue of one of his functions in Jamnagar scheduled on November 24, responding to a request from a family so that the wedding of their daughter could be conducted smoothly.

The wedding of Sanjana Parmar was scheduled at Jamnagar City Town Hall on November 23. The family came to know that CM Patel was to visit Jamnagar on November 24 and his public function was scheduled at City Town Hall.

The family brought their concern to the attention of the CM’s Office, said a government release. And the CM, the release added, promptly directed officials to change the venue of the government programme saying, “The concern of the daughter’s family is our concern.” Quoting the bride’s uncle Brijesh, the release stated, “As soon as the CM came to know about our family function, he personally spoke to us. The CM said, ‘Do not worry at all. Proceed with the wedding as planned at the Town Hall. We will change the venue of our programme.’

The sensitivity and prompt response of the CM greatly alleviated our concerns.” As per the release, Brijesh further stated, “Finding an alternative venue at short notice during the peak wedding season, informing guests, and making fresh arrangements would have been extremely challenging for us.

However, the Chief Minister’s considerate decision to shift the venue of his own programme ensured that our family function could take place peacefully and joyfully. After receiving a reassuring phone call from the CM himself, we were finally able to sleep peacefully that night.”
