Flower prices skyrocketed

Owing to the festival season of lights, the prices of flowers have soared up. In Sivakasi the prices have just tripled from today itself. As per the Sivakasi Flower Market rates, Sevanthi — that would cost Rs.120 on a normal day — now goes for Rs.360 a kg. Meanwhile the rates of roses have also been pushed up. The 500 rupees kilo Jasmine have jumped over to 1000 rupees per kilo. The skyrocketing prices of essential commodities in Sivakasi for this Diwali may dampen the enthusiasm of common man as they would be forced to cut the festival budget.
