Delhi’s Vidyapati Chhath Ghat Gets Permanent Structure Ahead Of Chhath Mahaparv

New Delhi: Harsh Malhotra to inaugurate the newly constructed permanent ghat near New Ashok Nagar Metro Station on November 15.

Why Is the New Ghat Significant for Chhath Devotees?

The long-awaited permanent Chhath Ghat near New Ashok Nagar Metro Station in East Delhi is set to become an important religious destination for devotees celebrating Chhath Mahaparv. The newly constructed Vidyapati Chhath Ghat will be inaugurated on November 15 at 5 PM by East Delhi MP and Delhi BJP president Harsh Malhotra.

Permanent Facilities to Make Chhath Puja Safer and Easier

Special arrangements have been made to ensure the convenience and safety of devotees. The ghat now features permanent steps, allowing women observing the Chhath fast and other devotees to reach the water easily and offer Arghya to the Sun God.

Safety measures include barricading and protective fencing with bamboo poles and ropes around the ghat. Cleaning and maintenance work is also underway to prepare the premises for the festival.

JCB machines have been deployed for cleaning, while arrangements are being made to organise sitting areas and entry and exit routes. Cleaning operations are also being carried out along the canal and surrounding areas to maintain hygiene during the celebrations.

Councillor Sanjeev Kumar Personally Supervises Preparations

Ashok Nagar Councillor Sanjeev Kumar is regularly inspecting the construction work and festival arrangements. He is visiting the site and directing workers to ensure that all preparations are completed before Chhath Mahaparv.

According to Sanjeev Kumar, a large number of families from Bihar and the Purvanchal region live in New Ashok Nagar and neighbouring areas. Earlier, devotees faced difficulties every year because of temporary arrangements at the time of Chhath Puja.

Considering these challenges, he had been working for several years to get a permanent Chhath Ghat constructed in the area. He also held several discussions with East Delhi MP Harsh Malhotra and highlighted the concerns and religious sentiments of local residents.

MP Harsh Malhotra's Initiative Brings Long-Awaited Project to Reality

Taking note of the demand raised by local residents and the efforts of Councillor Sanjeev Kumar, MP Harsh Malhotra initiated the construction of a permanent ghat and steps at the site.

The construction work is now almost complete. The facility is expected to provide devotees from Bihar and Purvanchal with a more organised and convenient place to perform Chhath rituals in the coming years.

The November 13 inauguration is expected to bring enthusiasm among local residents and devotees. With permanent steps, improved cleanliness and safety arrangements, Vidyapati Chhath Ghat is set to offer a better experience for worshippers.

For the local community, the new ghat represents the fulfilment of a long-standing demand and a permanent place for celebrating the festival with faith and devotion.
