Delhi Gears Up for Grand Chhath Festival Preparations

With the Chhath festival approaching, Delhi's government is preparing temporary ghats along the Yamuna river. Officials aim to provide a seamless celebration for the Purvanchali community by setting up these facilities and managing recurring issues like white foam at Kalindi Kunj.

Delhi is rolling out preparations for the upcoming Chhath festival, as the Irrigation and Flood Control Department identifies over 100 sites along the Yamuna river for temporary ghat constructions. A key focus is on managing white foam at Kalindi Kunj, a routine concern for the Delhi Jal Board.

Tenders have been issued for the development and redevelopment of ghats throughout the city. The festival, predominantly celebrated along rivers, sees a significant turnout from the migrant population from Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, and Jharkhand.

Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, alongside I&FC Minister Parvesh Verma, will oversee preparations at the ITO ghat, a major hub for the festival. The Delhi government is committed to ensuring a grandiose celebration of Chhath Puja, with enhanced facilities for the Purvanchali community.
