Mumbai: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra will reach Maharashtra’s Nandurbar district from Gujarat on March 10, local functionaries of the party said on Friday.

The yatra will travel from Nandurbar to Dhule, Malegaon and Nashik, where Gandhi will offer prayers at the famous Kalaram temple dedicated to Lord Ram and at the Trimbakeshwar temple dedicated to Lord Shiva, they said.

The party earlier announced that the Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra would be on a break from February 26 to March 1 to enable Rahul Gandhi deliver two special lectures at his alma mater, Cambridge University, and attend important meetings in New Delhi. It will resume on March 2 from Rajasthan’s Dholpur and enter Madhya Pradesh on the same day.

The east-to-west Manipur-Mumbai yatra is scheduled to traverse 6,700 kilometres through 15 states. It aims at highlighting the message of “nyay (justice)” while meeting common people on the way.
