While the city saw 15 bottles of
'Gangajal' collected in Rishikesh vanishing on the first date, five bottles of
200ml were sold out within minutes in Siliguri.
"Those bottles we have sold so far were bottled in Rishikesh. We are yet to receive those bottled in Gangotri. But the response was very encouraging," the CPMG said.
On the reasons behind the "sold out" of the Gangajal, Ghosh reasoned that "the great sentiment associated with the holy water of the Ganges from Rishikesh".
The 200ml bottled Gangajal from Rishikesh is priced at Rs 15 while the 500ml costs Rs 22, Ghosh said.
"The Gangotri water will be slightly costlier with the 200ml bottle pried at Rs 25, the 500ml bottle is priced at Rs 35," the CPMG added.
In fact, orders have been placed for a quick supply of bottles to meet the demand, she stated.
