This was Rahul Gandhi's first appearance since the natural calamity struck Uttarkhand as he was abroad.

AICC treasurer Motilal Vora and AICC general secretary and in-charge of Congress President's Office Ambika Soni had visited Uttarakhand to oversee relief operations and coordinate with state Congress units which have been sending relief materials.

Congress has set up a control room at Dehradun to accelerate the relief work. AICC Secretary Sanjay Kapoor and the party's wing Seva Dal's chief Mahendra Joshi have already been sent to Dehradun to monitor the work.
