Delhi HC denies permission for Chhath Puja at Yamuna

The Delhi High Court recently denied a request for permission to perform Chhath Puja rituals on the banks of the Yamuna River, citing the severe pollution levels in the water. The Public Interest Litigation (PIL) seeking permission was filed by the Purvanchal Nav Nirman Sansthan, challenging the restrictions on conducting the ritual at the riverbanks.
