New Delhi: BJP National President Nitin Nabin will inaugurate an 11-kilometre-long Chhath ghat built along the Munak Canal on 12 November. Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta reviewed the preparations today with Chhath Puja committees and officials and gave instructions for the event.
Gupta said the Munak Canal lay buried under garbage for 27 years. She said the BJP government kept its promise to transform it in less than a year and dedicate it to devotees of Chhathi Maiya.
Speaking about the festival, she said Chhath is not just a festival for people from Purvanchal but a bond with their land, their mother and their roots. She said it was a privilege to honour that faith, and that Delhi’s Chhath this year will be grander and more divine.
