Keeping in mind the importance of the Chhath Puja, AAP’s Ministers and MLAs have taken charge of the preparations on Chhath Ghats.
AAP leaders on Tuesday were seen conducting inspections across Delhi, making sure no loophole left behind in the preparations. AAP Delhi State Convenor and Delhi Environment Minister Gopal Rai inspected Chhath preparations at Bhalswa Lake and said that top notch facilities from tents to CCTV cameras have been organised on site.
Party senior leader and MLA Atishi inspected the preparations at several Chhath Ghats such as at Giri Nagar, Tilak Khand, Gali Number 1, Gurudwara Park, Prawasi Park, Ward 91, Astha Kunj Park and Karpuri Thakur Camp.
Rai said that no other state government is making preparations like the Kejriwal Government and Chhath is being held in true Delhi style. He said that 800 Chhath Ghats have been prepared by the Kejriwal Government with all necessary provisions for the Mahaparv.
Inspecting the site for Chhath Puja, Rai said, “Chhath Puja have been made at 800 different sites in Delhi. Tents are being built, CCTV cameras installed, public conveniences being arranged. As you are witnessing the Bhalswa Ghat right now over this entire stretch, preparations have been made for thousands of people to worship and celebrate the festival. The few remaining sites are also well underway to be completely ready by today,” he said.
“Our only wish is to help the people of Purvanchal to celebrate Chhath Puja without any obstacles. I would also like to urge the people to practice great caution and strictly adhere to COVID-19 guidelines throughout Delhi which have been kept in mind while making the arrangements,” he added.
Responding to the increased instances of stubble burning in Punjab, Haryana and UP, Rai said, “The issue is not about the farmers but about the role of the state and central governments. If the Delhi Government can manage the task of eliminating stubble burning instances with the bio-decomposer solution on its own, why can not the governments of Punjab, Haryana, and Uttar Pradesh do their part?
