The Delhi Congress has requested that Chhath Puja be proclaimed a public holiday and a dry day, arguing that the event was already recognised as a public holiday while the late Shiela Dixit, the party’s leader, served as Delhi’s chief minister.

Adesh Gupta, the leader of the Delhi BJP, has requested in a letter to Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal that Chhath Puja be declared a dry day.
