Along with more than 1,000 ghats across the city, there will be around 23 large natural ghats on the Yamuna banks, marked for the Chhath festivities, the BJP leader added.
Amid the ongoing season of promises in the wake of the upcoming assembly polls in the National capital, Congress, on Friday, promised to build Chhath Puja, like the ones built in the ‘Maha Kumbh’, on the Yamuna banks, which will be declared a separate district.
The deployment of police across key locations such as ITO ghat and Kalindi Kunj ghat has been intensified to manage the crowd and stop anti-social elements to disrupt the festivities.
Delhi Chief Minister Atishi on Tuesday extended greetings as Chhath festivities started with the 'Nahay Khaaye' ritual, and the devotees from Purvanchal begin their fast as per the festival.
The minister held a high-level meeting with all district magistrates to ensure a smooth and hassle-free Chhath in the national capital.
Additionally, cultural programmes organized by the Maithili-Bhojpuri Academy will be held at several of these ghats.
Security arrangements will be put in place by Delhi Police like installation of CCTV cameras at various locations.
"Sanitation and repair work of the roads leading to these ghats and surrounding areas should be completed before the Chhath Puja," Tiwari stated in his letter to the three mayors.
