Jalore Police Monitor Weddings to Curb Opium Tradition

In Jalore, India, police are watching weddings and parties because of a tradition called 'manuhar,' where people serve opium.

This is against the law.

Families sometimes spent lots of money on this custom.

The police are stopping this by arresting people, giving warnings, and telling people about the dangers of opium.

They are also watching for secret ways people might try to serve opium.

Some people are happy because they don't want to break the law.

The police say they are not against tradition, they are against drugs.
