Pune: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi will participate in his party’s “Chhatron Ki Goonj” campaign for students during its Pune edition on August 22, MPCC president Harshwardhan Sapkal said on Friday.

He addressed the second and third segments of the outreach programme in Dehradun and Prayagraj on July 17 and August 8, respectively.

“The fourth segment of ‘Chhatron Ki Goonj’ (voice of students) will be held in Pune on August 22 in the presence of Rahul Gandhi, who will address issues which are women-centric,” Sapkal told reporters at the Congress Bhavan here. However, the party was yet to finalise the location for the event.
