Mysore/Mysuru: The 3-day (May 24 to 26) Mango and Jackfruit Mela organised by the Horticulture Department began at Kuppanna Park near Jayachamaraja Wadiyar Circle (Hardinge Circle) in city this morning. The mela will be open from 10 am to 8 pm.
Speaking after inaugurating the Mela, Deputy Commissioner Dr.K.V. Rajendra said, the Mela is a platform that directly connects mango growers with customers. Noting that the mango yield this year has come down significantly due to failure of rains, he said that this was the reason why the city markets had not received expected stocks this year.
