Delhi Government Dedicates Country’s Longest Chhath Ghat to Residents; BJP National President Nitin Nabin and CM Rekha Gupta Inaugurate 11-km Ghat Along Munak Canal

BJP National President Shri Nitin Nabin and Delhi Chief Minister Smt. Rekha Gupta inaugurated the Chhath Ghat along both banks of the Munak Canal in North Delhi, in the presence of Union Minister of State Harsh Malhotra. The nearly 11-km ghat, Delhi’s longest and the first of its kind along a canal in the country, is a special gift for lakhs of devotees ahead of Chhath. The ₹115.29 crore project turns a long-neglected dry stretch into a clean public space through seven works, including the ghat, service roads, bridges, road widening and beautification. It will also host events such as Durga Puja and Ganesh Puja. Nitin Nabin said the ghat shows respect for the faith and cultural identity of the Purvanchal community. CM Rekha Gupta said the project was taken up as a priority after previous governments took no concrete steps, and that Chhath in Delhi will be grander and more divine this year. Harsh Malhotra called it a historic initiative, Parvesh Sahib Singh called it a right long overdue, and Kapil Mishra said Chhath is being celebrated at 1,400 ghats across Delhi.
