Srinagar, Mar 12: The Asia’s largest tulip garden would likely be thrown open after March 20 while the authorities informed that no date has been decided so far with regard to reopening the picturesque garden as deliberations are on.

Officials said that Commissioner Secretary, Parks Gardens and Floriculture, Sheikh Fayaz Ahmad held a meeting today in which the Director Floriculture Farooq Ahmad Rather and other officers were present.

The officers visited the park today to take necessary steps, they said, adding that the officers have decided to announce the dates for opening the Tulip garden in coming days. They said the tulips are not in bloom at present and it would take some more time to see tulips bloom in the garden.
