Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta has initiated preparations for the upcoming Chhath Puja festival, focusing on the construction and beautification of ghats. Early efforts included inspecting development along the Munak Canal to transform previously disordered areas into clean spaces for devotees.

As the festival approaches, the scale of preparations has expanded, with more than 1,400 ghats expected to be utilized across the city, up from 1,326 in 2025. The government has established a special committee to oversee essential services including water, medical aid, fire safety, and sanitation. To accommodate worshippers, officials plan to provide covered tents, CCTV surveillance, and dedicated facilities such as changing rooms for women and mobile toilets. The Chief Minister has directed that major preparations be completed ahead of the festival schedule to ensure a hassle-free environment.
