If
you wish to enjoy the cultural fabric fest then, Dilli Haat is one of perfect
place. It is also located in Northwest district of Delhi in Pitampura, however,
Dilli Haat in INA is more popular. It is also well-known as a traditional
weekly market in the area. Due to its extensive foundation work, small roof
cottages & kiosks plaza it gives an impression of a village environment. Handicrafts
& handlooms shows are organized here to promote them. But of late,
customers visiting here are facing some problems.
When we talked to some of the visitors here, they told us that the major
attraction of visiting this fest is the quality of handicrafts from various
Indian States & consider it as small cultural fest. But major problem for
visitors is parking & also, sometimes the place gets over crowded.
Most of the visitors expressed their unhappiness as only 4-5 food stalls are
operational however, there are around 20 stalls here & they could not enjoy
other states’ food as well. Moreover, some stalls have seating arrangement
problems.
When we approached the food vendors there, then they told that the main cause
is due to the lack of coordination between the Central Govt. & State Govt, &
also lack of significant promotion is other factor contributing to the overall
issues. Because of all this, the facilities provided are not in accordance with
the visitors & they are unable to relish the same.
Some craftsperson here of the opinion that they should be with allotted with
some open space for displaying their puppets, toys, dry flower, mehendi,
portrait sketch, etc to the visitors in a better fashion.
Even the publicing of the place is needed to boost its sales & bring back
its charm, but even after all the problems the place still got many problems.
