UP: Novel initiative to make incense sticks with flowers offered to deities

Vishal Singh, Vice Chairman, Ayodhya Development Authority, said that Ayodhya, the birthplace of Lord Shri Ram, attracts numerous pilgrims annually who contribute to the generation of tons of floral waste by offering flowers in temples. To address this, the authorities have implemented a system where the collected flowers are sorted and transformed into certified natural incense sticks daily.
