With Chhath Puja approaching, the Noida administration has issued a safety advisory for devotees, urging them to perform rituals only at designated and secured ghats. The guidelines aim to prevent accidents during the festival, when large numbers of people gather near water bodies to offer prayers to the setting and rising Sun.
The administration has identified designated locations where arrangements are being made for devotees. People have been advised to avoid entering rivers, canals, ponds and other water bodies at unauthorised or unsafe points. Officials have also urged residents not to visit isolated or unmonitored stretches for performing rituals.
Safety Measures for Devotees
The advisory asks devotees to remain cautious near water and avoid going into deep areas. Children should remain under the constant supervision of adults, while elderly people should be accompanied by family members. People have also been advised to follow instructions issued by police and administrative personnel deployed at the ghats.
Devotees should avoid overcrowding, maintain orderly movement and use only the designated entry and exit points. In case of an emergency, they should immediately contact the personnel on duty or the administration's designated helpline.
The authorities are coordinating security, crowd management and emergency-response arrangements to ensure the smooth conduct of the festival. Police and other teams will remain deployed at important locations to assist devotees and respond to any untoward incident.
The administration has appealed to residents to cooperate with officials and follow the safety instructions so that Chhath Puja celebrations can take place peacefully.
