Summary:
AdvertisingA native of Chennai, Ranganathan could pass off as a Sikh gentleman thanks to his neat turban. A 59-year-old gardener who has been tending to the roses at the Rose Garden in Sector 16 since 1996 will be the guest of honour on Sunday, the concluding day of the Rose Festival. It was in 1977, before he was to join the Chandigarh administration’s horticulture wing as a gardener, that someone advised him to wear a turban. Ranganathan, who began with a salary of Rs 5.50 per month, today takes home a package of Rs 46,000 per month. He has worked very hard for our Rose Garden and he deserves this honour,” Kalia said..
