Although the DDMA order permitted the entry of devotees to religious places, it prohibited large gatherings there.
It also directed the district magistrates and deputy commissioners of police to ensure strict compliance with Covid-appropriate behaviour in view of the upcoming festivals.
The authority in its fresh COVID-19 guidelines stated that fairs, melas, food stalls, rallies and processions will not be permitted during festivals in Delhi.
"Chhat pooja celebration shall not be allowed in public places and people are advised to celebrate the same at their homes," the Delhi Disaster Management Authority (DDMA) said in official order.
The activities permitted and prohibited by the DDMA will continue up to October 15 midnight.
