Sisodia terms celebrations ‘grand’; Tiwari cites toxic foam
Accusations of negligence and lack of adequate arrangements flew thick and fast on Monday as lakhs of residents in the Capital observed the first day of Chhath Puja.
Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia said the Delhi Government was the “only one in the country to have earmarked 800 ghats for the puja” even as North East Delhi BJP MP Manoj Tiwari argued that devotees were forced to take a dip in toxic Yamuna water because of lack of proper arrangements by the city government.
Revolving around the cultural sensitivities of Delhi’s Purvanchali population — which numbers upwards of 20 lakh — the observance of Chhath Puja first became a political hot potato when the Delhi Disaster Management Authority (DDMA) denied approval to the residents to perform the rituals at public places due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
