Bharat Jodo Yatra
The Kanyakumari to Kashmir Yatra, a mass contact initiative of the Congress, which started on September 7, has so far covered Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Telangana, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan.
After the Yatra entered Haryana from Rajasthan on Wednesday, Gandhi had targeted the BJP, suggesting that while his party gave voice to farmers and labourers another ideology benefited only a select few. Gandhi had also slammed the ruling party over inflation and unemployment.
Routes to avoid
The Bharat Jodo Yatra will begin from Faridabad and pass through Mathura Road on NH19 connecting Delhi to Agra. It will cover areas including NFC, Ashram, Zakir Hussain Marg, India Gate, ITO, Red Fort and Netaji Subhash Marg to reach Rajghat.
Daily commuters are advised to avoid these routes and enter Delhi via Tuglakabad Fort road, or take Bypass road to Noida.
The Delhi Traffic Police and Haryana Police are yet to issue advisory for the yatra.
