Repair work on Jamshedpur ghats begins

Jamshedpur: Following concerns expressed by the Central Ramnavami Akhara Committee over the plight of the Chhath ghats, the district administration has initiated inspections and remedial measures.

The committee had demanded immediate action on cleanliness, proper lighting, removal of bridge construction debris, security arrangements, and other necessary enhancements. Acting promptly, senior district officials conducted inspections on Wednesday, issued immediate directives to the concerned agencies, and commenced the necessary repair and maintenance work.
