Palamu administration has geared up for cleansing of all Chhath ghats.
Deputy Commissioner Palamu Ameet Kumar said ' There are twenty major ghats in urban areas where clean drive is on. Heavy work force has been drafted for cleansing the ghats'.
Ameet further said as for the deployment of magistrate and police force steps are on the anvil.
When reminded that following heavy rains this season there is heavy water in the river Koyal along whose bank are numerous ghats and at places the depth of water is too big to cause fear of drowning of small children who rush to water when the chhath devotees remain busy offering prayers DC said ' First we will find out such locations in the river Koyal where the water is deep and at such places there will be rope barricading there which will prevent any one to cross that rope barrier.
Executive officer Medininagar Nagar Parishad Ajay K Sao said a contingent of 30 to 40 workers are cleansing ghats across the bank of the river Koyal and in another two to three days time the ghats will be all spruced up.
Chhath devotees throng at Amanat river ghat some 7 kilometers away from Daltonganj. Sources said here only the rich and the affluent come from the town who have transportation facility.
This ghat is close to NH 75 and hence police are to keep a strict vigil here said sources. Sources said for the first time well built dhobas may be used by chhath devotees but with extreme care as its depth is almost ten feet down .
Sources said there is no water body where there is not sufficient water for performing the chhath rites and rituals this year.
