Rudrapur Municipal Corporation has begun preparations for Chhath Puja. According to Dainik Bhaskar, Mayor Vikas Sharma said cleaning, clean water, lighting and other necessary facilities will be arranged at the city's main Chhath ghats; the ghats will be cleaned regularly, lime will be sprayed around them and attractive lighting will be put up. The Mayor has told officials and staff to finish the preparations in time and asked councillors to give the corporation a list of the Chhath ghats in their wards, so that arrangements can be made at all ghats on time. He spoke to senior members of the Purvanchal community and told them about the preparations. Last year too the corporation ran a cleaning drive at the ghats and arranged water, decoration and lighting. According to Hindustan, the four-day Chhath festival begins on November 13 with Nahay-Khay.
