AAA With officials from the Department of Horticulture still unsure whether the annual flower show in Udhagamandalam will take place this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Nilgiri Documentation Centre (NDC) has written to DMK Chief M.K. Stalin to hold a “virtual flower show” this year.
Mr. Venugopal Dharmalingam, honorary director of the NDC, said that last year too the flower show was held virtually for people across the State to enjoy. “This year too we appeal to your new government to host a grand virtual flower show this summer,” he said, adding that he hoped that Mr. Stalin would inaugurate the flower show himself this year.

Famous for its pleasant climate and lush greenery, the hill station of Ooty is never complete without its imposing heritage structures. Even the power seat of the Nilgiris is housed in one such colonial marvel, which adds royal elegance to the Queen of Hills.
With its gables and several arched openings, the heritage building that houses the Nilgiris collector’s office on Commissioner’s Road in the town is a beauty to behold.
Built in 1866 at a cost of Rs44,820 within the public offices campus, this colonial-era building first served as the office of the joint magistrate and civil and sessions judge. The building was then known as the new public offices.
