Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Tuesday drove down to the Sonbhadra village where 10 tribals were shot dead in a land dispute, nearly a month after the UP administration prevented her from going to the massacre site by detaining her in Mirzapur.
Hitting the road soon after her arrival in Varanasi around 10 am, the Congress general secretary in-charge of eastern UP tweeted, "Today, I am going to Sonbhadra to meet the brothers-sisters and children of Umbha village, enquire about their well-being and to be part of their struggle."
"I had promised the members of affected families of Umbha village, who had come to meet me at Chunar Fort, that I will visit them."
Before being detained, she had met the families of those injured at Varanasi hospital
