How to eliminate the horizontal scrollbar in this html/css page created with bootstrap?

Question

My problem is that when i view this page in my laptop, there is a horizontal scrollbar appearing at the bottom of the page. I have tried man things but cant make that disappear. There is an other problem that when i view this page in my laptop, it appears to be too small, but when i inspect it in chrome, it appears okay.

Here is a jsfiddle link: https://jsfiddle.net/zvdm6de4/1/

This is happening because `.row` takes negative margin (-15px) on both sides as gutter, you need to wrap up row into `container`. — Abhishek Pandey, Apr 11 '17 at 05:38

.row takes negative margin (-15px) container-fluid or container takes 15 margin — Alfin Paul, Apr 11 '17 at 05:43
@AlfinPaul `container-fluid` or `container` takes padding 15px not margin. — Abhishek Pandey, Apr 11 '17 at 05:47
@Abhishek Pandey, sorry my mistake .row takes negative margin (-15px) container-fluid or container takes 15px padding — Alfin Paul, Apr 11 '17 at 05:53
Although container-fluid seems to eliminate the horizontal scrollbar, it also introduces a padding in the left. How to eliminate this? — , Apr 11 '17 at 05:57

add a div with container-fluid class after body, and keep all your code between this div.

change body CSS to this

body {
    background-color: white;
    min-height: 100%;
    overflow-x: hidden;
}

You can use overflow-x:hidden or overflow-x:scroll (for horizontal scrollbar) as per you need in CSS file

generally overflow-x is for horizontal scrollBar & overflow-y is for vertical scrollBar
