New Delhi, 09 November (H.S.): Delhi BJP president Harsh Malhotra and Delhi Government Chief Spokesperson and MLA Abhay Verma on Monday inspected preparations for the upcoming Chhath Mahaparv at Hathi Ghat near ITO, under the Laxmi Nagar Assembly constituency.

During the inspection, Malhotra described Chhath as a major festival rooted in faith and the worship of nature, emphasising that cleanliness holds special significance during the celebrations.

He directed officials to ensure that all preparations at Chhath ghats across Delhi, particularly in East Delhi, are completed by the evening of November 13 without fail. He also appreciated the faith-inspired beautification work undertaken on the walls of the ghat.

Malhotra appealed to all political parties to refrain from organising protests or demonstrations in Delhi during the three-day period from November 14 to 16, when devotees observe the festival, so that women observing the fast and other worshippers do not face any inconvenience.

The Delhi BJP president said that, this year, volunteers from the party's Purvanchal Morcha, Mahila Morcha and Yuva Morcha would be deployed at various ghats to assist devotees and provide voluntary services.

On the occasion, MLA Abhay Verma said Chief Minister Rekha Gupta was personally monitoring preparations for Chhath celebrations and ensuring that devotees were provided with all necessary facilities.

He added that the government would make every effort to develop all the ghats in the Laxmi Nagar Assembly constituency as model Chhath ghats this year.

Officials from the Delhi Government and the Municipal Corporation were also present during the inspection. Delhi BJP Purvanchal Morcha president Santosh Ojha and former Mayor Bipin Bihari Singh were among those who attended.
