Huzur MLA Rameshwar Sharma inspects Chhath ghats in Bhopal, directs officials to finish work on time

Preparations at Bhopal's ghats have picked up pace ahead of the Chhath festival. To ensure devotees face no difficulty during worship, Huzur MLA Rameshwar Sharma inspected several Chhath ghats on Tuesday.

The MLA reviewed construction work under way at the ghats, along with cleanliness, clean water and other arrangements. He directed officials and others concerned to complete all arrangements on time.

During the inspection, Sharma said Chhath is no longer confined to one state or region but has become a festival of the entire Sanatan community. According to him, it is celebrated with devotion and enthusiasm not only across the country but also in many other countries. He said the festival, which honours Chhathi Maiya, the sister of the Sun God, is a symbol of faith and purity.

The MLA laid special emphasis on clean water and the arrangements at the ghats. He said an effort was being made to provide devotees observing the Chhath fast the same quality of arrangements in Bhopal that they get when they worship at the ghats of the Ganga. He acknowledged that there is no Ganga water body here, but said clean water and ensuring its purity at the ghats was the first priority.

Sharma expressed hope that all the ghats would be fully ready in the next two to three days. He also extended Chhath greetings to the people of the city.
