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.
