Gauchar: Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi is stuck in flood-ravaged Uttarakhand. He took an overnight halt here after his visit to the flood affected areas.

Rahul Gandhis Uttarakhand visit came amid criticism from the opposition for his absence from flood and landslide-hit Uttarakhand.

Rahul monitored the relief work being done by the party during his visit.

In Delhi, party spokesperson Renuka Chowdhary ducked the question on the number of days the Congress leader will stay in Uttarakhand, saying it is immaterial.

Congress has set up a control room at Dehradun to accelerate the relief work. Congress secretary Sanjay Kapoor and the partiess Seva Dal chief Mahendra Joshi have already been sent to Dehradun to monitor the work.
