This is the season of mango but I have not tasted mango yet. Children and old age people need fruits in their daily platter. Local administration and Ujjain Municipal Corporation must ponder over this and take a favorable decision.

In other cities fruits are being sold so sale of fruits should also be started in Ujjain. Farmers, vendors and common people will benefit if the sale of fruits resumes.
