Late-arriving grooms put on notice as Kashmir’s wedding chefs set 10 pm deadline for wazwan

Kashmir’s wedding chefs, known as waza, have unanimously decided to stop serving food after 10 pm. They have cited long working hours and poor treatment as reasons for this decision. Working conditions have become difficult due to extended delays from guests, particularly the groom’s arrival. Chefs have reported insufficient arrangements for rest during long hours of work. The community advocates for more dignified working conditions and timely wedding practices.
