Walk Details : Posthumously yours, the flower markets of Delhi: The 3 main flower markets at Fatehpuri, Connaught Place and Mehrauli, an integral part of the city’s heritage and culture, and temples of beauty amidst the concrete jungle; are now history, thanks to the Delhi government’s myopia.
Come witness a disaster of urban planning and the lack of common sense in this city, as we visit the sites of
