November 7 has been declared a public holiday for Chhath Puja in Delhi. Delhi Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena had written a letter to Chief Minister Atishi requesting him to declare November 7, the evening day of the Arghya festival of Chhath, as a public holiday, which he approved. Let us tell you that earlier Chhath Puja was included in the list of holidays banned by the Delhi government.
LG had written in his letter, ‘Chhath Puja is coming in the next few days. This great festival of faith is celebrated for four days. The third day, when ‘Arghya’ is offered to the setting sun, is considered the most important. This year, during Chhath Puja, Arghya will be offered to Astachalgami Surch on November 7, which is already included in the Delhi Government’s list of restricted holidays. I urge the state government to declare November 7, 2024 (Thursday) as a full-day holiday and immediately submit the necessary file in this regard.

Delhi Chief Minister Atishi wrote in a post about Can convince. Chhath Puja is an important Hindu festival of Bihar, which has now gone global. This great festival of popular faith is now celebrated throughout India as well as among Indians living abroad. Lord Bhaskar is worshiped in Chhath. In this, Arghya offers himself to the setting and rising sun.
The four-day Chhath festival will begin on November 5 and end by offering Arghya to the rising sun on November 8. During this time, special arrangements will be made at Chhath Ghats in Delhi so that devotees do not face any inconvenience. Since Chhath Puja has special importance for the people of Purvanchal and Bihar, the eyes of all political parties are fixed on it.

This great festival is organized on the banks of rivers, ponds, ponds, etc. Since there are elections in Delhi in the coming months, there is a large population of Purvanchalis and Biharis living here. In terms of the number of these voters, the decision to declare a holiday on the occasion of Chhath festival will be very important. Political parties will try to use this opportunity to their advantage. Ahead of Chhath Puja, a series of accusations and counter-accusations are taking place between the BJP, Aam Aadmi Party and Congress over the poisonous foam in the Yamuna river. All parties are trying to take advantage of this issue against each other.
