Delhi Government to Offers 1,482 Ghats for Chhath Rituals
The canal stretch was cleared of encroachments and debris, and officials said it will serve devotees across five Assembly constituencies.
- On Thursday, BJP National President Nitin Nabin inaugurated an 11-kilometer-long Chhath ghat along the Munak Canal, developed by the Delhi Government to facilitate the four-day festival beginning Friday.
- Transforming an area long neglected and choked with debris, the project aims to support the Purvanchal community, for whom Chhath holds considerable religious and cultural significance.
- With preparations underway at 1,482 ghats across the Capital, the site features permanent steps, changing rooms, CCTV surveillance, and treated water from the Haiderpur Water Treatment Plant.
- Chief Minister Rekha Gupta stated, "Chhath is not merely a religious celebration but also a symbol of Delhi's social and cultural unity," underscoring the government's commitment to public welfare.
- The redevelopment benefits families across five Assembly constituencies—Shalimar Bagh, Wazirpur, Model Town, Adarsh Nagar, and Badli—while authorities expect to complete remaining bridge and greenery work within three months.
