Kolkata: Rabindra Sarobar and Sarobar Subhas will avoid Chhath Revelers for the second year in a row.
Kolkata Metropolitan Development Authority has decided not to let the Chhath ritual on this lake respect the direction of the Calcutta High Court.
Conversely, Kolkata Municipal Corporation (KMC) makes arrangements in various water bodies throughout the city, including rivers, to ensure worshipers can do puja.
A member at the Council of KMC Administrator (BoA), Debasish Kumar, on Wednesday said all Ghats along Hooghly were being prepared for Chhath worshipers.
“From Princep Ghat for Ratan Babur Ghat – all Ghats are decked for Chhath Puja.
We are preparing a special platform for worshipers to do their rituals.
At the same time, we must be very careful to maintain the minimum distance that remembers improved Covid graphics , “Kumar said.
According to a KMC Parks official and the Department box, the Civic body along with the police will keep the fragrance in all the main Ghats which includes Bajekadamtolla Ghat, Judge Ghat, Ahiritolla Ghat, Doi Ghat (Kidderpore) among other Ghat.
“We need to keep a special vigil remember the surge in Covid cases in the past two weeks,” said the citizenship official.
The Civic body wants worshipers using ponds and water in their environment, which will be converted to Ghats Chhathh, to observe their rituals without traveling to Hooghly.
“We have made a special platform in several locations.
If necessary, we will add more pools to the waterbodies list,” said a citizenship official.
KMC Parks and Squares Department identifies ponds and waterbodies located along Em Bypass, Behala, TollyGunge, Jadavpur, Cossipore, Dum Dum.
The TMC Ward Coordinator has been asked to explore the choice of creating an artificial pool in their ward.
