The Kerala government had announced that there won't be any Onam festival celebrations on Sunday this year due to the Wayanad disaster and urged people to help those affected in the landslides.
The festival widely celebrated in Kerala is the busiest season of the year for the farmers in Coimbatore. According to farmers, over 110 tonnes of flowers were sent to Kerala last year during Onam, but it has dropped to just 15 tonnes this year. One kg of marigold flower was sold for 50 last year, but a 30kg flower bag gets just ₹150 to ₹200 this year, they said.
