Lieutenant Governor had written a letter
The Lieutenant Governor had written that the festival of faith is celebrated for four days. In such a situation, people should get a public holiday on 7th November. When there was a restricted holiday, the departments used to decide whether to give leave to the employees or not and if they have to give it, then to give it for the whole day or for half a day, but now 7th November has been declared a public holiday on the occasion of Chhath festival.
This four-day festival will begin on November 5 and conclude on November 8. Preparations have been made at different ghats in Delhi for Chhath Puja. Care has also been taken to ensure that people coming to Chhath Ghats do not face any kind of chaos.
