With many of them witnessing snowfall and sub-zero temperatures for the first time, the volunteers are in high spirits and ecstatic to be approaching Kashmir.
Armed with walkie-talkies, dozens of Congress volunteers walk in small groups either close to their leader Rahul Gandhi or ahead of him during the Bharat Jodo Yatra, managing the crowd and clearing the road ahead.
With many of them witnessing snowfall and sub-zero temperatures for the first time, the volunteers are in high spirits and ecstatic to be approaching Kashmir, the final destination of the foot march that started from Kanyakumari in Tamil Nadu in September last year.
When not walking beside Mr Gandhi, these sprightly volunteers are busy overseeing arrangements at camping sites and putting up billboards, among other things.
"We have been moving continuously since the yatra started on September 7. Many of the volunteers preferred to remain part of this historic march and are moving with the yatra to its final destination in Kashmir," Devender Yadav, the youngest MLA from Chhattisgarh who is heading a group of 125 volunteers, told PTI.
