Pithoragarh (Uttarakhand): In yet another example of the close people-to-people connect between India and Nepal, a groom from Jibi village near here on Wednesday brought home his just married Nepalese bride to a warm reception.
The couple was welcomed by the Indian security personnel at Dharchula as they entered India through the border bridge on river Kali, SDM Dharchula A K Shukla said.
"The administration of both the countries opened the bridge gates to facilitate the passage of the newlywed couple to India where the girl's in-laws live," the official said. The groom Kamlesh Chand, a resident of Jibi village near Pithoragarh, married Radhika, daughter of Tigram from Dhulakot village of Darchula district in Nepal, he said.
