A burst of colors and scents awaits Delhiites as Lt. Governor V.K. Saxena inaugurates the Palash Mahotsav 2026 this Saturday at Asita Floodplain by ITO. In his dual role as DDA Chairman, Saxena will lead the two-day event, graced by Minister Harsh Malhotra and DDA’s N. Saravanan Kumar.
The festival, a DDA initiative, showcases exquisite floral arrangements, exhibits of seasonal plants, and engaging eco-installations. Beyond the blooms, attendees will find crafts from local artisans, a bustling food court, traditional performances, skill-building workshops, and family-oriented activities.
Emblematic of winter’s end and spring’s embrace, Palash Mahotsav radiates freshness and unity, offering a perfect blend of education and entertainment on environmental themes.
Echoing this spirit, Saxena recently opened the DDA Green Expo at Yamuna’s Bansera, inspiring citizens to own their ecological duties. He highlighted the site’s metamorphosis from pollution hotspot to green hub, now central to sustainable city visions.
On social platforms, he celebrated Bansera’s revival as proof of persistent green efforts, hoping the expo yields actionable fixes for Delhi’s challenges. His call: a metropolis of pure air, verdant locales, tended waterways, and proactive populace.
DDA’s updates praised the expo’s kickoff for forging a path to climate readiness via partnerships and displays. The festival spans sites including Ashok Vihar’s Ashoka Garden, Jasola’s Lala Hardayal Park, and Narela’s Smriti Van, uniquely themed to honor ecology, endurance, and social ties.
This orchestrated green wave not only rejuvenates public spaces but galvanizes public sentiment towards lasting environmental progress.
