In a significant crackdown ahead of the upcoming Chhath Puja festivities, the Ranchi Municipal Corporation (RMC) has launched a major offensive against illegal space allotments and unauthorized constructions at various Chhath ghats across the city.
Municipal Corporation's Zero-Tolerance Stance
The civic body has adopted a strict zero-tolerance policy against individuals and organizations illegally occupying and allotting spaces at the designated Chhath ghats. This decisive action comes after numerous complaints about unauthorized construction and commercial exploitation of these sacred spaces.
Immediate Removal of Illegal Structures
RMC officials have been directed to immediately identify and demolish all illegal constructions that have mushroomed at the ghats. The corporation has formed special teams to monitor the situation closely and ensure that no unauthorized activities compromise the safety and sanctity of the religious celebrations.
Safety Measures for Devotees
The municipal corporation emphasized that these measures are primarily aimed at ensuring the safety of thousands of devotees who will gather at the ghats during Chhath Puja. Illegal constructions not only violate civic norms but also pose serious safety risks to participants.
Key Actions Taken by RMC:
- Regular inspection drives at all major Chhath ghats
- Demolition of unauthorized temporary structures
- Strict monitoring against commercial exploitation
- Enhanced safety protocols for devotees
- Designated complaint mechanisms for public reporting
Public Cooperation Sought
Municipal authorities have appealed to the public to cooperate with the administration and report any instances of illegal space allotment or unauthorized construction. The corporation has assured that legitimate arrangements for the festival will be properly facilitated while maintaining strict adherence to safety norms.
This proactive approach by the Ranchi Municipal Corporation demonstrates their commitment to ensuring that religious traditions are celebrated safely and in accordance with civic regulations, protecting both devotees and public property.
