With this Chhath Ghat being operational once again, it will cater to the Bihar community which resides within 4 to 5 km radius, including places like Lakshmi Nagar, Pandav Nagar etc.
Sachdeva, after learning about the issue from people, got in touch with the local officials concerned, and accordingly obtained the necessary permissions after which the cleaning and preparations began at the site.
The BJP leader reached the ground zero on Saturday morning and the work was started to prepare the ghat for the Chhath rituals.
