New Delhi: Twitter users on Thursday voiced their support for Shailesh Yadav DM of West Tripura District, whose video of stopping a wedding ceremony that was violating the COVID-19 protocols went viral, after which he was suspended.

In a video that went viral on social media, the District Magistrate was seen stopping a wedding ceremony at Manikya Court, a marriage hall at North Gate of the Palace Compound, supposedly after the 10 pm cutoff time for Covid-19 night curfew to come into force in the Agartala Municipal Council (AMC) areas.

The video showed him shoving out the bridegroom, arresting everyone present including the bride and groom’s family, and tearing up written permission for the wedding signed by himself.

The move by Shailesh Yadav had received mixed reactions across social media platforms. While some chose to laud the IAS officer for executing his duty others slammed him for misbehavior on duty.

However, on Thursday, the hashtag #IStandWithShaileshYadav was among the top-trending hashtags on the micro-blogging site in India.

Users were all praise for the officers and commended his courage in doing what he is supposed to do.

Here are some of the tweets from the campaign.
