Delhi High Court has refused to give permission to celebrate Chhath Puja on the banks of Yamuna. The court said that the water of Yamuna river is highly polluted and celebrating the festival in it can spoil the health of the people. Delhi Congress President Devendra Yadav said on the High Court’s decision that the court’s order has exposed the lies and failures of the Atishi government.
Delhi Pradesh Congress Committee President Devendra Yadav said that on the failures of Kejriwal’s Delhi government which was successful in turning the holy Yamuna into a polluted and poisonous water, the Chief Justice bench of Delhi High Court has declared the Yamuna polluted due to excessive level of ammonia in the Yamuna. Concern has been expressed by not allowing Chhath devotees to worship directly.
AAP government is not concerned about the health of Delhiites
Devendra Yadav said that Delhi Congress had expressed concern over the rising ammonia levels in the polluted Yamuna, but the Atishi government has been continuously saying that everything will be fixed. The Aam Aadmi Party government is not concerned about the health of the people of Delhi, while the Chief Justice has described Yamuna as a highly polluted river.
You can get sick by worshiping in Yamuna
Devendra Yadav said that the High Court, being conscious of the health of the people of Delhi, did not allow the devotees to take a dip in view of the dirt and poisonous water present at the Chhath Ghat on the banks of river Yamuna in Geeta Colony, while the Delhi government’s lawyer also Informed about the reality of polluted Yamuna and said that if people are allowed to worship in Yamuna then they may definitely fall ill.
Devotees forced to worship Chhath in polluted water – Devendra Yadav
The Congress leader said that Atishi Due to the government being busy in finding political ground for the upcoming assembly elections and the politics of blame and counter accusation, it did not even request the Haryana government to release water in Yamuna for the Purvanchal devotees, whereas during the Congress rule, water was released three days before Chhath. . Delhi government’s claim that it has earmarked 1000 ghats for Chhath Puja proved to be completely hollow today on the first day of Chhath festival. Not only has the government not cleaned the ghats of Yamuna, it has also not improved the public facilities and sanitation system, due to which lakhs of devotees appeared assured of the Chhath preparations of the Aam Aadmi Party. Devotees are forced to worship the festival of faith, Chhath, in filth and polluted water at the ghats.
People are experiencing burning sensation in eyes and difficulty in breathing.
Devendra Yadav said that along with water pollution, air pollution is taking serious form in the capital and in most of the hot spots, severe pollution is being recorded around 400 AQI. AQI was recorded at 457 in Anand Vihar, 389 in Alipore, 437 in Wazirpur, 440 in Jahangirpuri and 403 in Punjabi Bagh. Gopal Rai is claiming that spraying is being done with anti-smog guns, but in many areas including Anand Vihar, Vivek Vihar, India Gate, it is becoming difficult to see beyond 500 meters. People are also experiencing burning sensation in the eyes and difficulty in breathing.
Another black spot added to Kejriwal’s corrupt history –
Devendra Yadav said, “After declaring Delhi as the most polluted city in the country in the analysis of Center for Research on Energy (CREA), this is a double blow for former Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, who does not waste any opportunity in turning every occasion into an event. Let’s leave. The CREA report has added another black spot to Kejriwal’s corrupt history.
