The Story in Brief
Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta will participate in Chhath Puja festivities on Sunday, 15 November, offering evening arghya to the setting sun at the Sonia Vihar ghat. On Monday, 16 November, she will offer morning arghya at the Haathi Ghat near ITO and meet devotees.
The Delhi government has made arrangements at over 1,400 ghats across the capital, including an 11-km-long ghat along the Munak canal in north Delhi.

Gupta has instructed senior officials to be present at major ghats to ensure no inconvenience to worshippers.
Indian Opinion Analysis
TV9 Hindi's coverage foregrounds the Delhi government's detailed preparations and the CM's personal supervision, presenting the event as a showcase of administrative efficiency and cultural celebration. Amar Ujala reports the same facts in a concise, event-driven style without emphasising the government's role. The difference lies in emphasis: TV9 Hindi frames the story around the government's achievement, while Amar Ujala sticks to the schedule and the CM's message. Both outlets agree on the key details of dates and locations. The coverage is uniform on facts, the pro-government framing is confined to one source's choice of lead and descriptive language.
