Ranchi: The great festival of folk faith, Chhath, started with Nahay-Khay. There is a festive atmosphere everywhere.
On Sunday, devotees will offer the first Arghya to Lord Bhaskar in the ponds, but there is still a lot of filth in the ponds of the capital.
On Friday, Ranchi MP Sanjay Seth, MLA CP Singh and Samri Lal inspected several reservoirs of the city including Jail Pond and Hatnia Pond.
During this time, the team of Ranchi Municipal Corporation was also with him. Seeing the filth in the ponds, the MP-MLA expressed displeasure and directed the Municipal Corporation officials to immediately clean all the ponds and provide all necessary facilities for Chhath fasts and devotees.
