PM Modi to flag off padayatra in Gujarat:
The Padyatra flagged off by PM Modi will be undertaken by 81 marchers from Sabarmati Ashram in Ahmedabad to Dandi in Navsari. It will be a journey of 241 miles that will end on April 5, 2021, lasting for 25 days.
Today’s #AmritMahotsav programme begins from Sabarmati Ashram, from where the Dandi March began. The March had a key role in furthering a spirit of pride and Aatmanirbharta among India’s people. Going #VocalForLocal is a wonderful tribute to Bapu and our great freedom fighters.
