The Kayastha Pathshala Trust has restored permission for Rahul Gandhi’s ‘Chhatron Ki Goonj’ interaction at KP Ground, Prayagraj, on August 8, subject to conditions. Organisers must ensure academic activities are not disrupted and obtain clearance from the district magistrate, the trust’s acting president Jitendra Nath Chaudhary told PTI, as reported by Telangana Today. The trust had cancelled permission a day earlier, citing an Allahabad High Court order restricting use of the ground to sports and educational activities, as well as waterlogging after rain. Congress leaders had accused the Uttar Pradesh government of pressuring the venue provider. The party says the event will proceed, with Gandhi scheduled to attend from 6 pm to 8.30 pm.
