Coming out of the Metro you will notice a strange elongated building, one fast architectural work, still looks organized and clean. Its is Himachal Pradesh Farmers's training center. |
 |
Narrow lanes approaching the Mandi are busy with peripheral activities, like here this boy is busy peeling garlic, which is a major supply to non-beg restaurant across North Delhi |
 |
Busy activity in the Mandi, everyone is buying, selling, transporting, cleaning, talking, discussing, planning, telephoning all on the go |
 |
The uglier side of things turn up here |

the slush of greens, most fertile, but most nauseating too!! |

Need Bulldozers to clean the mess! |
