The New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) has issued a tender to procure 2 lakh tulip bulbs from the Netherlands for planting in prominent areas of the city this winter. The council aims to reduce expenditure by sending bulbs from previous years to an institute in Himachal Pradesh for reuse. The tulips will be planted in various locations, and NDMC Vice-Chairman Satish Upadhyay stated that they will also grow yellow and white lilies. The bulbs will bloom a week before spring, and 50% of last year's bulbs were preserved for replanting.
