\\\'Gaye holud\\\' of rail minister held in city

The railway minister was in a great mood sitting just a few paces away from his bride-to-be at their 'Gaye Holud' on Wednesday, reports bdnews24.com.

Clad in a golden Panjabi and a shiny red 'Uttariya' around his neck, the 67-year old Md Mazibul Hoque sat smiling broadly, surrounded by hundreds of guests at Bangladesh Agriculture Research Institute.

The bride - Honufa Akhter Rikta - arrived in a tangerine silk saree with red-gold borders and was seated on a floral stage little away from Hoque.

Both Hoque and Rikta hail from Comilla.
