To perform the Chhath Puja, many devotees reach Chhath ghats, Tiwari said. He added that all three mayors have been asked to initiate necessary repair and cleaning work at all Chhath ghats along the banks of the Yamuna river at the earliest.
The Delhi BJP chief also said that mayors were urged to ensure better arrangements at the ghats this year for Chhath devotees. He said he will himself take stock of the preparations made at Chhath ghats after Diwali.
Tiwari said the BJP workers have been instructed to render their voluntary help at these ghats and that party workers would set up shelters at night in various places of Delhi for Chhath devotees.
