Puri: A young groom in Puri district has won all round applause for pledging to donate his body at his marriage reception.
According to reports, Rakesh Kumar Mohanty of Amalapada village near Nimapada announced to donate his body to SCB Medical College and Hospital in the presence of his bride Rupali, parents and relatives at his marriage reception on Sunday evening.
