BHAGALPUR/CHHAPRA: Amid complaints of dirty, marshy and unsafe river embankments, the focus of the district administration and the Bhagalpur Municipal Corporation (BMC) is on restoring the Ganga ghats besides cleaning the embankments for Chhath festivities in which hygiene and sanctity is extremely important for the devotees.
Apart from cleaning the ghats, efforts are underway to make the marshy embankments dry, hard and plain so that the devotees do not sink.
