visited each stall. “All (are) eco friendly. Whether it is the use of power, whether
it is the use of water or products made out of eco friendly materials all that
is being done (at the pavilion). So I think it is a very cheerful and a happy
pavilion,” said Sheila Dikshit. Taking a cue from the recently held Commonwealth
