New Delhi, Nov 11 (UNI) Delhi Assembly Speaker and Rohini MLA Vijender Gupta on Wednesday inspected five Chhath ghats across Rohini to review preparations for the four-day festival beginning November 13, stressing that devotees must be provided a safe, clean and dignified environment to perform the rituals.
During the inspection, Gupta visited Chhath Puja sites at Ramlila Ground in Sector 7, Raja Vihar, Suraj Park, near Sector 18 Metro Station and B Block in Sector 15. He reviewed arrangements concerning sanitation, lighting, drinking water, accessibility and the safety of devotees, directing the concerned agencies to ensure that all facilities are put in place well before the commencement of the festivities.
“Chhath Puja is an occasion of deep faith and devotion, and ensuring the safety, convenience and dignity of every devotee is our foremost responsibility. All necessary arrangements must be completed well before the festivities begin, with no scope for lapses in public facilities,” Gupta said during the inspection.
He also assessed the progress of preparations at the five locations and underlined the need for close coordination among civic agencies and government departments to ensure timely completion of the work.
Highlighting the significance of Chhath Puja for thousands of families in the national capital, the Speaker said the administration must remain particularly attentive to the requirements of women devotees, senior citizens and children.
He asked all departments concerned to discharge their responsibilities diligently and ensure that worshippers do not face any inconvenience during the celebrations.
The four-day festival, which will conclude on November 16 with devotees offering Usha Arghya to the rising Sun, is observed with prayers and rituals dedicated to the Sun God and Chhathi Maiya. Gupta stressed that the celebrations must be conducted in a smooth, safe and orderly manner, allowing devotees to observe the festival with faith and devotion.UNI PWS AAB
