Police and flowers!
I am rather shocked to go through a news report under the caption - "Bad days for flower traders at Shabagh " that appeared in the city page of the DS on Nov. 30, 2005.
Flower is a beauty from heaven and flowers are an important part of human culture. But unfortunately, as mentioned in the report, flower traders are facing bad days in running their business because of rising prices and changes in the attitudes of people. The most painful side of the flower trade as mentioned or alleged by the flower traders is that, they have to pay tolls to the police for using the footpaths!
Can't we arrange some space for the floating flower traders at Shahbagh and other points of the city?
