Chandigarh civic body allocates Rs 25 lakh for Rose Garden upgradation

The UT civic body in a sudden move on Thursday, it decided to allocate a whopping sum of Rs 25 lakh for Rose Garden’s upgradation. The civic body recently announced that it will be holding a symbolic rose festival this year to cut expenses.

On being asked about the details of the Rs 25 lakh upgradation, Mayor Ravi Kant Sharma said, “New flower beds can be introduced. The dry leaves can be removed using a suction machine.” He also said that new suction machines can be bought. However, the Municipal Corporation Chandigarh is already equipped with suction machines.

On the symbolic rose festival, Sharma said that not more than Rs 10 lakh would be spent on the arrangements this year, as it was a ‘symbolic’ celebration.
