Bhubaneswar: The Odisha Pradesh Congress Committee (OPCC) will flag off a two-day padyatra titled ‘Gandhi Pathe Chalo’ from the Motu border in Malkangiri district on October 2 (Gandhi Jayanti).

The announcement was made by OPCC president Bhakta Charan Das on Tuesday.

Initially conceptualised as a year-long march, the padyatra has been shortened due to the upcoming Nuapada by-election, Das informed.

“We had planned to undertake the padyatra throughout the year starting October 2. However, due to the by-election in Nuapada, it will now be held for two days. Covering 20 km per day, the march will conclude on the evening of October 3 in Malkangiri town,” he said.

Das added that senior PCC members, office bearers, and District Congress Committee members have been invited to join the march.
