Noida Chhath: Ghats Sparkle Amidst Water Woes
15 Nov
Summary
- Devotees prepare for Chhath Puja at decorated ghats and societies.
- Some Noida sectors report dirty water supply issues during the festival.
- Authorities have addressed a damaged pipeline, restoring water by Saturday evening.
Ghats and residential societies across Noida are adorned as devotees commence the final two days of the Chhath Puja celebrations, offering religious observances to the sun. Preparations by Resident Welfare Associations (RWAs) and Apartment Owners' Associations (AOAs) have been underway since November 13.
While many areas are ready, residents in specific sectors have voiced concerns regarding the supply of dirty water. This issue, attributed by the Noida Authority's water department to a damaged pipeline, was reportedly resolved by Saturday evening, November 14. Affected residents in Sector 144 had resorted to private water suppliers during the disruption.
The festival, a four-day observance, involves rituals like fasting and offerings. Specific preparations include new ghat constructions and arrangements at society pools for 'arghya'. Security has been enhanced at all Chhath ghats with barricades, lighting, traffic management, and dedicated police personnel.
Despite the water supply issue being resolved, the article notes ongoing disruptions in Ganga water supply in Noida, expected to persist until the end of Chhath Puja.
