Now, step into Lalbagh at a price

Now the decision will soon be implemented at Lalbagh, where walkers will have to pay an annual fee of Rs 200, and Rs 100 for children, to use the premises of Lalbagh.

Horticulture Department Director N  Jayaram said, “The introduction of the fee was not to make revenue but only to improve the security level inside Lalbagh. We will provide identity cards to every walker and he or she will have to show the card to enter Lalbagh,” he said.

Over 3,000 walkers use Lalbagh for their morning walks.  Identity card can be availed by producing an address proof, a photograph and paying a fee of Rs 200.
