Padyatras in U’khand mark Gandhi Jayanti

-

Dehradun, Oct. 2: Padyatras were held in all the Assembly constituen­cies of Uttarakhan­d on Tuesday to mark Mahatma Gandhi’s 149th birth anniversar­y, with chief minister Trivendra Singh Rawat leading the yatra in Doiwala and BJP state president Ajay Bhatt in Haldwani.

It was part of the party’s decision to mark 150th year of Gandhi’s anniversar­y which would culminate on October 2, 2019, in a special way at the national level, state BJP media head Devendra Bhasin said.

The padyatras are aimed as much at propagatin­g Gandhi’s message of truth, non- violence and cleanlines­s as at creating awareness about the public welfare schemes launched by the Centre.
