An Indian businessman has donated 90 houses to the homeless instead of spending more than £93,000 on his daughter’s wedding. According to the Free Press Journal, Ajay Munot, a trader of cloth and wheat, constructed a colony for the homeless, in which each home is 12 by 20 sq. ft, has two windows, two doors, a light fitting and is painted. Speaking to ANI, his daughter Shreya said she was very happy with the decision and considers it a great wedding gift.
