Women in parts of India on Wednesday participated in the ‘Karwa Chauth’ celebrations. As per the tradition, women do not break their fast until they see the Moon and their husbands.
But one such husband got stuck in a traffic jam in Delhi so he made a PCR call to the police to help him reach home on time.
“Chand Nikal Aaya Hai, Biwi Ko Vrat Kholna Hai, I am stuck in a traffic jam, kindly help,” the caller told the police.
‘Karwa Chauth’ is celebrated by Hindu women who observe fast from sunrise till moonrise for the safety and longevity of their husband’s lives.
At least 195 female inmates of Tihar jail participated in ‘Karwa Chauth’ on Wednesday, officials said. According to a jail official, the festival was celebrated by 140 inmates lodged in jail number 6 and 55 inmates in jail number 16 in the presence of jail superintendents.
Jail administration arranged articles and other items required for the prayers, an official said. Currently, about 650 female jail inmates are lodged in jail number 6 and 150 in jail number 16.
