As the Bharat Jodo Yatra entered its final leg in the union territory, Congress MP Rahul Gandhi unfurled the national flag at Lal Chowk in Srinagar on Sunday.
The yatra will travel to Nehru Park in the city’s Boulevard neighbourhood and conclude on Monday. The Bharat Jodo Yatra, led by Rahul Gandhi, resumed on Friday morning from the National Highway-44, Banihal Railway station, in the Ramban region of Uttar Pradesh.
Security was increased in the area following the recent twin blasts on the outskirts of Jammu city on January 22, which shook a bustling community in Narwal and injured at least nine persons.
The Bharat Jodo Yatra, which began on September 7 in Kanyakumari and will end on January 30 in Srinagar, will encompass 3,970 kilometres, 12 states, and two Union territories.
