Ludhiana, November 29
In a changed tack, non -resident Indians(NRIs) "flooding" Punjab during marriage season, this time, are looking for brides who can guarantee a complimentary marriage of an Indian brother or cousin with an NRI bride. Besides the talk in the air, the newspapers, particularly the vernacular ones, are flooded with advertisements saying "the groom was ready for the marriage only in case the girl’s parents could ensure an NRI relation for his brother".
