Bharat Jodo Yatra resumes amid tight security in J-K’s Kathua

Bharat Jodo Yatra: Following the twin blasts in Jammu, the Bharat Jodo Yatra, which is being led by Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, resumed on Sunday from Hiranagar in the Kathua area of Jammu and Kashmir.

The foot march resumed after a day’s break at around 7 am from Hiranagar near the international border along the Jammu-Pathankot route, which had been closed off by police and other security forces.

Around 8 am, Gandhi crossed the Londi checkpoint with the help of J-K Pradesh Congress chief Vikar Rasool Wani, working president Raman Bhalla, and hundreds of volunteers carrying the tricolour. He was met by ecstatic workers and supporters who were waiting on both sides of the road.

The march will halt for the night at Chak Nanak after travelling around 25 kilometres before setting off again from Samba’s Vijaypur for Jammu, where it will arrive on Monday.

According to officials, Gandhi would be completely protected, with the police, CRPF, and other security organisations keeping a close eye on the march to guarantee calm.

Following the twin bomb blast that occurred in the Narwal area on the outskirts of Jammu city on Saturday that injured nine persons, security has been stepped up even further throughout Jammu and Kashmir.

The twin explosions in an SUV parked at a repair shop and in a car at a nearby junkyard in Narwal’s Transport Nagar area are believed to have been caused by IEDs.

As a result of the Congress Yatra and the upcoming Republic Day celebrations, security forces in the area are on high alert at the time of the terror assault.

On September 7, the march began in Kanyakumari, and on September 14, it entered Jammu and Kashmir from Punjab.

Gandhi is expected to raise the national flag at the Congress headquarters in Srinagar on January 30 to mark the completion of the yatra.
