CM Rekha Gupta Reviews Chhath 2026 Preparations; Strict Directions for Clean Ghats, Women’s Facilities, CCTV and No Dark Spots on Routes

Delhi Chief Minister Smt. Rekha Gupta on Tuesday chaired a detailed review meeting on Chhath Puja preparations, making clear that no lapses in devotees’ convenience, safety or cleanliness will be tolerated - with all basic preparations at ghats to be completed by November 6 and a public holiday declared on November 16 for the morning Usha Arghya. More than 1,400 ghats are expected to be developed across Delhi this year against 1,326 last year, with major arrangements including adequate changing rooms and toilets for women, CCTV surveillance at all crowded ghats, fire tenders near large ghats, welcome gates and LED screens at model ghats displaying Chhath content and government welfare scheme information. Pothole-free roads, continuous water sprinkling for dust control, round-the-clock sanitation teams and zero dark spots on routes to ghats were among the specific directions issued. Special covered tents have been directed at large and medium ghats given November’s colder weather, and foreign ambassadors and high commissioners will be invited to Chhath celebrations this year. CM Rekha Gupta said Chhath is rooted in the deep faith of millions of devotees, and the government must ensure every person observing the fast and their family has a clean, safe and convenient worship environment. Officials were directed to inspect ghats personally rather than rely on reports, and to coordinate with Indian Railways on managing the increased rush of passengers travelling to Bihar, Jharkhand and Uttar Pradesh.

Delhi Chief Minister Smt. Rekha Gupta on Tuesday inaugurated the Centenary Academic Building, Computer Centre and Skill Development Centre at Daulat Ram College, University of Delhi - her own alma mater - in an occasion of special personal significance, recalling that her journey in public life began when she became general secretary of the college students’ union, with responsibilities in student politics inspiring her to understand and resolve people’s problems. CM Rekha Gupta launched the ‘Miss DRC Talent Hunt’ to encourage students to showcase their talents, appreciated self-defence demonstrations by the Mahila Vikas Samiti, and reaffirmed the government’s commitment to installing 1 lakh smart streetlights and 50,000 new CCTV cameras across Delhi to strengthen women’s safety. She said responsibility for girls’ safety must not be placed on them alone - society must change its mindset and teach boys and men to respect women. The Chief Minister said the purpose of education is not merely a degree but equipping young people to face life’s challenges, adding that alongside modern education, technical knowledge and practical skills are essential for self-reliance. She assured the college of support for auditorium renovation and directed that every girl in Delhi should move forward fearlessly, with the Delhi Government standing firmly behind her safety, dignity and dreams.

CM Rekha Gupta Reviews Chhath Preparations at Soor Ghat, Directs Time-Bound Completion of Pending Works

Delhi Chief Minister Smt. Rekha Gupta on Monday inspected Chhath festival preparations at Soor Ghat, directing officials to immediately repair dilapidated gates, rusted structures and damaged sections, ensure adequate lighting on both sides of the ghat, fix water connections for bathing facilities and urgently repair and maintain toilets — warning that negligence in ensuring devotees’ safety and convenience will not be tolerated. CM Rekha Gupta said sections in poor condition for years must be properly repaired rather than given temporary fixes. Finding shortcomings in water arrangements, she sought explanations from officials on the spot. Reviewing lighting, she directed adequate illumination across the entire ghat. She instructed all departments to coordinate and complete every pending task within the stipulated timeline — making clear that arrangements must be in place well before Chhath, not on the festival day itself. The Chief Minister said Chhath is a celebration of faith, emotion and tradition for lakhs of Purvanchal families living in Delhi, and providing every devotee with a clean, safe and convenient environment is the government’s highest responsibility. Cabinet Minister Kapil Mishra and senior officials from concerned departments were present during the inspection.
