Chhath’s proposal got approval in the meeting of Southern Corporation House
The proposal for organizing Chhath Puja was passed in the meeting of South Delhi Municipal Corporation House held on Tuesday. At the same time, Leader of the House Narendra Chawla has requested the corporator to issue guidelines for celebrating Chhath festival.
Narendra Chawla said that most of the people in the capital live in small houses, where people are unable to perform Chhath Puja due to lack of space. This is the reason why the people of Purvanchal approach the Chhat Ghats. In such a situation, the Government of Delhi is requested to consider this proposal as soon as possible and allow it to celebrate Chhath festival.
