New Delhi, November 10, 2025 – The centuries-old ‘Phool Walon Ki Sair’ festival, a symbol of religious harmony in Delhi, is back on track after Lieutenant-Governor V.K. Saxena intervened. The Delhi Development Authority (DDA) had initially granted only “limited permission,” causing organizers to postpone the event.
