We would like to inform all of you, that due to security reasons in Delhi during the Common Wealth Games, Chief Minister of Delhi (Mrs. Sheila Dixit) has advised us to postpone the Nature Bazaar, as there will be traffic diversions in the entire city that might affect the movement for the general public. Therefore considering the above problems, we have decided to change the dates; our new dates for the Nature Bazaar will be from 21st to 31st Oct. 2010, at IGNCA, 1, C.V. Mess, New Delhi.
