President of Tenants Association of Devaraja Market S. Mahadev stated that flower merchants have now decided not to shift their businesses during the next festival season and has urged the District Administration to make proper arrangements in Devaraja Flower Market itself.
“I would advise them to deploy Police personnel and health officials at the Devaraja Flower Market during the next festival season to control the crowd. Based on our experience during the last two festival seasons, we are not ready to shift to the new venue as sales were dull and we have incurred huge losses this time,” he added.
