He will meet Congress workers at Yelandur, Santhemaralli, Ummathore, Kavalande and Begur en route to Nagarahole, where he will stay overnight.

The Soligas will express their problems to Mr. Gandhi. The VGKK campus is gearing up to extend a warm welcome to him.

Security has been tightened at B.R. Hills in view of Mr. Gandhi’s visit. An SPG team inspected the various places the Congress leader is going to visit.
