Lucknow, October 6: In a move to ensure a law and order situation ahead of the festivities, the Uttar Pradesh government has cancelled leaves for all police personnel for one month starting from October 8 till November 8. The cancellation of leaves came because of the upcoming festivals of Durga Puja, Dussehra, Diwali, and Chhath Puja in Uttar Pradesh.

IPS Prashant Kumar, DGP, has issued a circular imposing a ban on leaves for police personnel from October 8 to November 8. Meanwhile, the cleaning work of Ganga ghats in Varanasi continues ahead of the increased footfall expected during the upcoming festivals of Dussehra, Diwali, and Chhath Puja.

The water level of the Ganga River in Varanasi has decreased, leaving behind a large amount of soil on the ghats.

The soil is still wet, which makes it easier to wash away into the river. However, if it dries up, removing it will become difficult. NGOs and local citizens have also stepped in to clean the ghats. Swift removal of the soil is seen as crucial to ensure the ghats are ready for the large number of visitors expected during the festive season.
