Delhi's recently launched hot air balloon rides at Baansera Park are experiencing low turnout, with organizers selling an average of only 20 tickets per operational weekend. To boost sales, organizers plan to introduce online booking and have reduced the ticket price from Rs 3,000 to Rs 2,300. Critics question the initiative's timing during peak winter pollution, with some environmentalists labeling it 'greenwashing' and a distraction from the city's air and water quality issues. The Delhi Development Authority has not yet commented on the low uptake.
