GURUGRAM: Cleaning arrangements for 24 municipal Chhath worship sites, including Labour Chowk in Sector 5 and New Palam Vihar, were detailed on Saturday, November 14, 2026, ahead of the main gatherings on November 15 and 16. The Municipal Corporation of Gurugram has directed its teams to clean ghats and water bodies and remove waste and debris around them, according to two local reports describing the municipal arrangements.
The locations include Basai Talab, Kanhai village, Devilal Colony and Sector 15 Part 2. For residents heading to these neighbourhood sites, the immediate civic work concerns the worship area and its surroundings. A separate district police plan covers 73 venues across four zones, a wider list than the 24 sites in the municipal cleaning announcement.
Where the municipal work is planned
The municipal list spans established colonies, village locations and newer residential areas. Alongside Labour Chowk, it names the Panjeri Plant site in Sector 5, New Palam Vihar and Shakti Park. Kanhai village, Devilal Colony and Sector 15 Part 2 are also included. These are the locality names given in the reports of the corporation's arrangements.
Other named sites are Surat Nagar Phase 2, Kadipur Community Centre, Saraswati Enclave, Basai Talab and Chakkarpur village. The Sheetla Mata Mandir parking area is included too. Its identification as a parking area matters for visitors choosing their destination: the named worship site should be distinguished from a general reference to the temple complex.
The remaining locations named in the municipal announcement include Om Vihar, Rajendra Park, Shyam Kunj, Maruti Kunj, Shiva Enclave, Dev Nagar Part 2 and Dhankot. Vatika in Sector 82, Ryan Enclave, Sneh Vihar in Bhondsi and Chandrashekhar Park also appear in the reported list. The announcement therefore reaches beyond the central city neighbourhoods to Sector 82 and Bhondsi.
Officials have been told to clear accumulated rubbish and construction debris from the surrounding areas as well as clean the ghats themselves. The responsibilities involve the relevant municipal zones and coordination with field officers and other departments. The reports describe instructions for arrangements; they do not provide a separate inspection certificate for every location or a site by site completion time.
The police list covers a larger area
Security preparations announced on November 14 cover worship on Sunday, November 15, and Monday, November 16. Two reports agree that the district has 73 identified venues: 32 in the Western Zone, 16 in Manesar, 14 in the Southern Zone and 11 in the Eastern Zone. Those figures describe police deployment areas and should not be substituted for the municipal cleaning total.
- Municipal cleaning announcement: 24 worship sites.
- Police security plan: 73 venues across four zones.
- Main evening gathering: November 15, for prayers to the setting sun.
- Concluding morning gathering: November 16, for prayers to the rising sun.
The security arrangements include women police personnel and officers in plain clothes, alongside other deployed personnel. Traffic officers have been assigned special duties around worship sites to keep movement organised during the gatherings. The police commissioner has appealed for peaceful celebrations. The reports opened for this article do not set out a numbered diversion route or a uniform road closure time for all 73 venues.
The four day observance began on Friday, November 13, with Nahay Khay and concludes on Monday morning. That schedule explains why the municipal cleaning preparations and police duties extend across both the Sunday evening and Monday morning gatherings. No local sunrise or sunset minute is supplied in the municipal announcement, so this report does not assign an exact ritual time to individual ghats.
The reported overall deployment is approximately 3,000 police personnel. This is a district total for the celebrations, rather than a staffing commitment at each municipal site. The arrangements include worship venues and other identified locations, while traffic duties are directed at roads around the gathering points.
Following up a civic problem
The corporation's official website links residents to the Gurugram complaint handling system. Its public landing page offers citizen registration, complaint registration and a complaint status check, and lists 18001801817 as a contact number. These are standing civic complaint facilities, rather than a newly announced festival helpline or a promise of immediate clearance at a particular ghat.
For wider local sanitation context, earlier reporting covers municipal sanitation enforcement. Separate reports on four village pond tenders and pond bids in Carterpuri and Mullahera concern longer term works. Those tender reports should not be read as confirmation that construction at any of the Chhath venues has been completed.
