NEW DELHI: The Delhi high court on Wednesday refused to issue any directions on a public interest litigation (PIL) challenging government’s decision to ban Chhath Puja celebrations on the banks of Yamuna river.
The court stated that there are other ghats and designated areas where people can perform the puja safely.
The court observed that the ban was likely imposed due to the high pollution levels in the Yamuna river, warning that people could fall ill from bathing in such toxic water.
