Flowers are witnessing good demand during the ongoing festive season which has lifted the prices in the Netaji Wholesale Market situated at Sitabuldi (India). Apart from this, the local supply of flowers from nearby areas of Nagpur has seen a significant drop that has also contributed to the rise in prices.
“Although the Ganesh Chaturthi festival is being celebrated in a restricted manner as the COVID-19 pandemic is in full bloom, the prices of flowers like marigold (Zendu) which are generally used during pooja has increased remarkably,” said Jaywant Rannaware, President of Mahatma Fule Pushpa Utpadak Sangh on Monday.
Everyday, in the morning till the afternoon the Netaji Flower Market is in full activity with a large number of people visiting the Netaji wholesale market to buy flowers.
