‘Visit to Tulip Garden is costly’

Today I visited Tulip Garden along with my family. First of all I had to pay Rs 120 for me, my spouse and 2-year-old child. At the kiosk being maintained by a govt backed vendor I was forced to pay Rs15 for a Choco Bar having printed price of Rs10 and this way had to end up paying Rs15 extra for three packs.
 I just want to bring to the notice of the concerned how a visitor who doesn’t have a second choice end up paying 50% extra price at a govt run and backed shop.
 If they do such injustise to 1000 people a day then it’s an income of Rs 4.5 lac over and above the MRP of products.
Hope the better sense will prevail among those running the garden.
