Agra couple celebrates wedding anniversary in front of drain to protest against authorities

A couple from Agra celebrated their 17th wedding anniversary in an unconventional way. Bhagwan Sharma and Usha Devi marked their anniversary in front of a foul-smelling drain. This moment was captured in photos.

The couple said that they celebrated their 17th anniversary in front of a filthy drain because they wanted to grab the attention of Agra's public representatives and officials. This was done to highlight 15 years of issues with dirty water, poor roads and overall cleanliness concerns in the area.

The anniversary celebration in front of a drain included the attendance of fellow colony residents accompanied by a band playing instruments. Bhagwan Sharma said that they had plans to celebrate their wedding anniversary in Lakshadweep or Maldives. However, the bad sewer and waste disposal facilities in their area turned the road into a dirty drain, now known as 'Pushpdeep.' Residents reported that their pleas have yet to be addressed.
