Gujranwala: A bizarre incident has come to light from Pakistan which might bring embarrassment to many millionaires and even billionaires. A beggar family in Pakistan's Gujranwala organised a grand feast for around 20,000 people costing around whopping 1.25 crore Pakistani rupees. The feast was organised by the family to mark their grandmother's 40th day of death. The family invited the people and also arranged around 2,000 vehicles to help the guests to reach the destination.
The event was organised near the Rahwali Railway Station in Gujranwala. Thousands of people from across Punjab attended the grand gathering. The feast featured an elaborate menu:
Lunch: Traditional dishes like siri paye, murabba, and various meat delicacies.
Dinner: Tender mutton, naan matar ganj (sweet rice) and several desserts. To accommodate the massive crowd, 250 goats were reportedly slaughtered for the occasion.
