Saplings as New Year gift flood Godavari districts

Deccan Chronicle  

Kakinada: Saplings of various plants witnessed great demand as 2024 phased into 2025 in the two erstwhile Godavari districts. But now they feel plants are a better way of extending New Year Greetings, as the saplings planted are more enduring, while flowers fade in a day or two and fruits are forgotten once eaten. Those dealing in flowers said wholesale traders are taking advantage of December 31 and January 1, the two days on which they can charge huge amounts but people will still buy the flowers. In the interim, Kakinada district collector S. Shan Mohan has requested people not to bring flower bouquets, garlands, shawls and other items to greet him on the eve of New Year or the New Year.
