In Delhi this year, Chhath Mahaparva will have to be worshiped in homes. The Delhi government has decided to watch the corona epidemic in the capital. On Thursday, Delhi Health Minister Satyendar Jain said that the Delhi government has decided to ban the community Chhath Puja festival at the ghats to prevent the spread of Kovid-19.
As per the order, “The government has instructed all the district magistrates, DDCs of the police and all concerned authorities to ensure that Chhath Puja does not take place in November in public places / river banks / temples etc. in the national capital.” The use of firecrackers is also banned due to pollution in Delhi.
Chhath Mahaparv, which lasts for four days, will be celebrated between November 18 and 21 this year. Chhath Puja will begin with Nahai Khay on 18 November. Kharna is to be followed on November 19. After offering Arghya to the sunset on November 20 and then offering Arghya to the rising sun on November 21, Mahaparava will end.
There are a total of 4,51,382 virus cases in the capital. Due to the ever increasing cases of Corona, the local authorities were directed to ensure that Chhath Puja is not conducted in public places including the ghat or river. All the District Magistrates and the Deputy Commissioner of Police and other officers have been instructed to strictly follow the order.
