The four-day-long festivities of Chhath Puja 2022 are all set to begin soon. The arrangements are being done all across the country so that people can celebrate the festivals with fervour. Keeping in mind the huge number of people that will be arriving at ghats for puja rituals, the Patna district administration has released a list of ghats that have been declared dangerous. 

The unstable water levels in the river Ganga due to heavy rains and the sand deposit have led the district administration to release a list of dangerous ghats to avoid any incidents.
