2 Jun 2013 11:51 PM GMT
Unfazed by the dastardly attack by Maoists, Opposition Congress in Chhattisgarh will soon resume its 'parivartan yatra' from Keslur village near Jiram Ghati, the spot where its convoy was ambushed on 25 May.
Congress workers will pay tribute to the victims including state Congress chief Nand Kumar Patel, his son Dinesh, former leader of opposition in the assembly Mahendra Karma and ex-MLA Uday Mudliyar among others, at all district headquarters on 6 June.
Tributes will be paid at all block headquarters on 7 June, but not in the remote Moaist-affected blocks of Bastar division, which includes the districts of Bastar, Dantewada, Bijapur, Narayanpur, Sukma and Kanker.
Twenty eight people were killed and 36 injured, including former union minister Vidya Charan Shukla, in the attack.
‘We will relaunch the parivartan yatra very soon from the same place where it was left and will be concluded at the state capital Raipur,’ AICC general secretary B K Hariprasad told reporters in a press conference here.
The 'parivartan rally' came under attack at Jiram valley in Darbha block when it was on its way to Keslur town in Jagdalpur district.
The rally in its new avatar will begin from Keslur, he said.
