Saxena appreciated the efforts of the DDA in organizing the festival on such a grand scale. He said that government would work in a mission mode to enhance the aesthetic appeal of the national capital. Saxena said apart from creating recreational public greens like Baansera, Asita and YanumaVatika, massive plantation of Tulips across the capital added significantly to the aesthetics of the city while also receiving huge appreciation and applause from the people.
DDA has been organizing flower festivals every year since 2023 over its Green spaces. However, this year, the grandeur of the event can be experienced by the public for five days over two weekends at Dwarka and Mayur Vihar respectively.
