In line with the vision of the Yogi government, the Lucknow Municipal Corporation has completed extensive preparations at 110 ghats along the Gomti river to provide devotees with a clean, safe and well-organised environment during the auspicious festival of Chhath Puja.
Special arrangements, including cleanliness, lighting and decoration, have been made at 47 major and 63 smaller ghats across all eight municipal zones.
Under the directions of Municipal Commissioner Gaurav Kumar, painting, cleaning, decorative lighting and dustbins have been arranged at the major ghats. Cleaning and decoration work has also been undertaken at the smaller ghats. Water tankers and mobile toilets have been installed to facilitate devotees. Control rooms have also been set up at all ghats to monitor arrangements throughout the festival.
To promote environmental conservation, Arpan Kalash have been installed at every ghat. These will ensure that pooja materials are collected at designated locations instead of being immersed in rivers and water bodies.
With the objective of making Chhath Puja a zero-waste festival, Safai Mitras have been deployed at the ghats to ensure proper waste disposal.
The major ghats identified by the Municipal Corporation across different zones include Laxman Mela Ghat and Lallu Mal Ghat in Zone 1; Lete Hanuman Temple Ghat in Zone 2; Barrel No. 2, Sanjhiya Ghat and Jhulelal Ghat in Zone 3; Gomti Nagar Extension in Zone 4; Scooter India and Gauri Bazaar in Zone 5; Kudiya Ghat and Mehndi Ghat in Zone 6; Kukrail Ghat in Zone 7; and Sainik School Boating Club Ghat in Zone 8.
In keeping with the Yogi government’s commitment to cleanliness and environmental conservation, the Municipal Corporation aims to ensure a clean, safe and well-organised environment for all devotees during Chhath Puja. The endeavour is to celebrate the festival as a zero-waste occasion while reinforcing the messages of cleanliness and environmental protection.
