The park authorities are now gearing up to open the park with all COVID-19 protocols in place.

Only 5 people would be allowed to inside the park at the same time. Visitors would be allowed inside after proper COVID tests, sanitisation and temperature check, the authorities said.

Most of the orchids are in full bloom and the bamboo garden too is looking healthier and rejuvenated, the park in-charge said.

According to the authorities, the plants have grown better and healthier as there has been no human interference except the caretakers, no visitors in the past 6 months.

The employees of the park are busy cleaning and clearing the park of extra foliage for the past few days, the officials said.
