Gandhi had offered prayers at the Golden Temple in Amritsar on Tuesday after concluding the Haryana phase of the march in Ambala district. He reached Sirhind in Fatehgarh Sahib on Tuesday evening and stayed there for the night.
Braving the bitter cold, a large number of party workers gathered here for the yatra. As per the schedule of the Punjab leg of the yatra, it will start from Sirhind in Fatehgarh Sahib and pass through Mandi Gobindgarh, Khanna, Sahnewal, Ludhiana, Goraya, Phagwara, Jalandhar, Dasua and Mukerian.
There will be a rally in Pathankot on January 19 before the yatra enters Jammu and Kashmir. The Gandhi scions will walk for three hours each in the morning and evening and cover a distance of 25 kms.
The yatra, which started from Kanyakumari in Tamil Nadu on September 7, will end in Srinagar by January 30, with Gandhi hoisting the national flag in the summer capital of Jammu and Kashmir. The march has so far reached Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Delhi, Uttar Pradesh and Haryana.
