Parida claimed that the band did not listen to his plead and continued to play. The groom’s friend even shouted him as they passed the poultry. The ear-splitting noise continue for a couple of time.
“I asked the band operators to lower the volume as the music was too noisy and terrifying the chickens. But they did not listen and the groom’s friends shouted at me,” Parida said.
According to a veterinarian, the poor chickens passed away due to heart attack caused by the blasting noise. Parida also filed a complaint against the wedding organizers after they have refused to pay for the damage.
