The Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) is going to organise its annual flower show from January 16 to January 22. This year the civic body is going to charge entry fees from the visitors.
“The entry cost is to maintain discipline. When we impose entry fees, people take care of the place. Every year, lakhs of people attend and some of them create a nuisance,” said Jignesh Patel, director of Parks and Garden department, AMC
“However, there are some groups such as the specially-abled and school children accompanied by school staff, children below 12 years etc,” remarked Patel.
The tickets will be available at the entry gate. Janmitra cards will also be accepted. The civic body has organised a live demonstration of the greenhouse. “The greenhouse concept is widely accepted and there is a demand for it. We have organised a live demonstration where people can get information and guidance,” said a senior officer.
