The lieutenant governor had written a letter.
The lieutenant governor had written that the festival of faith is celebrated for four days. In such a situation, people should have a holiday on November 7. When there was a restricted holiday, departments used to decide whether to give leave to employees or not and if they had to give it, then whether to give it for the whole day or for half a day, but now November 7 has been declared a holiday on the occasion of the Chhath festival.
This four-day festival will begin on November 5 and conclude on November 8. Preparations have been made at different ghats of Delhi on Chhath. Care has also been taken to ensure that people coming to Chhath Ghats do not face any kind of chaos.
