Many senior Congress leaders and leaders of other important political parties are attending the culmination function to be held on the January 30."
"I shall be grateful if you could personally intervene in this matter and advise the officials conerned to provide adequate security till the culmination of the yatra and the function on January 30 in Srinagar," Kharge said.
