Mango variety named after Delhi CM

Naming a delicious variety of mango as Sheila was how a mango grower from a nondescript village in Uttar Pradesh expressed his gratitude to Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit for organising Mango festival here.

Among the over 500 varities at the festival at Dilli Haat in Pitampura, the Sheila mangoes are an eye-catcher.

This variety is developed in Uttar Pradesh's small town called Nanauta in Shahranpur.

‘I will give this mango to Sheila Dikshit. She has given an forum to us for showing our talent. I think she will like it,’ said Hazi Uffran Khan, who developed this variety and named after Sheila.
