Kathmandu. Preparations are underway for the Chhath festival. The Chhath festival, which is celebrated only in the Terai, is being celebrated in the capital these days.

Not only in the country but also for those living abroad, the Chhath festival seems to be equally lively. The Chhath festival, celebrated as a festival of faith, faith and goodwill, is being celebrated across the country on Monday. The work of cleaning the ponds and rivers in the villages and localities has begun in view of the Chhath festival. The Bagmati River is cleaned up in the Kathmandu Valley in preparation for the Chhath festival.

Similarly, the Bagmati Improvement Project under the High Powered Committee for Integrated Development of Bagmati Civilization is preparing to release the water from the Dhap Dam into the Bagmati River during the Chhath festival. The project is preparing to release the water collected in the dam to increase the water flow of the Bagmati River and facilitate the devotees for bathing.

Deputy Project Director and Information Officer Uddhav Nepal said preparations were underway to release the water from Sunday afternoon. “It takes 14 hours to reach the Pashupatinath area after the release of water from Dhap Dam, so we have made preparation to release water from the dam from the previous day,” he said, adding, “We have been releasing water from the dam into the Bagmati River on special days.” ”

The committee is preparing to release 400 litres of water per second in the Bagmati River for the next two days of the Chhath festival. “The release of water in this way will bring knee-deep water in the Bagmati River and make it easier for the devotees to bathe in the river and offer offerings,” said Nepal, adding, “We will request the Melamchi Drinking Water Development Committee to release the water.” ”
