CNBC-TV18's Anshu Sharma, visited Delhi's Ghazipur market to determine how the flower industry is reviving as the festive season approaches.
The lockdown hasn't been kind to anyone and the Ghazipur flower mandi in Delhi was no exception. The once vibrant market lost its charm at the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic, but with the festive season commencing, it seems like its colourful appeal would be back.
Sanjay Sarawagi, Proprietor of Shreyas Bloom told CNBC-TV18: "I [have been] supplying flowers to government departments since the last 20 years. We also supply flowers to the Prime Minister's House, but the orders stopped even before the festival of Holi in March. We also supply to Delhi LG House, Health Ministry and Vigyan Bhawan where a lot of events used to happen. But, due to the lockdown, no one was buying flowers."
