Jharkhand government issued a notice stating that this year due to the pandemic, "Chhath Puja", will not be allowed near water-bodies. The notice read, "Due to the fixed timing of performing the rituals, it is not possible to ensure social-distancing". People bathing in common-water was also a concern. "Chhath Puja", mainly celebrated in Bihar, Jharkhand, and in areas of UP will be observed on November 20.
