Preparations for the upcoming Chhath Mahaparv at various prominent ghats and water bodies across Bokaro Steel City have entered their final phase, with Bokaro Steel Plant (BSL) management accelerating cleanliness, repair and civic improvement works ahead of the festival.
Most of the essential work has been completed, while the remaining arrangements are being given final touches. These include cleaning of ghats and ponds, repairing and painting steps, improving lighting facilities and ensuring smooth access routes for devotees.
Special cleaning and maintenance drives have been undertaken at several major locations, including Two Tank Chhath Ghat, the pond near Jagannath Temple in Sector 4D, Surya Sarovar in Sector 4F, Sector 5 Sarovar, Sector 1C and the Chhath Ghat at City Park. Water hyacinth, weeds, garbage and other unwanted materials have been removed from these water bodies. Repair and painting of steps, along with improvements to approach roads, are also underway.
Considering the expected influx of devotees during the festival, arrangements are also being made for adequate illumination, medical camps and other essential public amenities at the ghats. Special emphasis is being laid on cleanliness, safe movement and convenient access to ensure a comfortable experience for Chhath devotees.
BSL management is coordinating with the concerned departments to complete all arrangements well ahead of the festival. The initiative aims to provide devotees and Chhath vratis with a clean, safe and convenient environment to observe the festival with devotion and traditional fervour.
