There are cases coming up in many places where people are forgetting the danger of Corona in the fun and party affair. Unaware of the epidemic, the trend of small townspeople is increasingly moving towards luxury.

14-year-old Kanav Khandelwal celebrated his birthday on 23 March in Jaipur Metro. Kanava cut the cake with her family and after that the guests are served vada pav, sweets and juice. The birthday of Kanva was celebrated between Mansarovar and Badi Chaupar stations of Jaipur Metro. During the party which lasted from 5 to 9 pm in the evening, the metro train made several rounds between these two stations.

Gopal Gupta, a relative of Kanava, told our associate newspaper Economic Times that on the metro we had booked coaches for 10,000 (excluding tax). Decoration and eating arrangements were separate.
