Why demand for a holiday on Chhath Puja in Chandigah?
Chandigah: Despite a holiday in Delhi for Chhath Puja, people have expressed displeasure over the absence of a holiday in Chandigarh. They say that Chhath Puja is an important festival in North India and, respecting their sentiments, the Chandigarh administration should also declare a holiday. They said that due to the absence of a government holiday, devotees are forced to take personal leave from offices, schools, and other workplaces, which disrupts the puja.
Demands have been raised for a holiday in Chandigarh, similar to Delhi, for Chhath Puja, the grand festival of folk faith. Yadav Lok Kalyan Sabha has appealed to the administration to consider the interests of Chhath devotees. The organization’s convener, Kripa Sindhu Yadav, said that the Delhi government has notified a holiday for Chhath Puja, respecting public sentiment, but no holiday has been granted in Chandigarh so far.
