Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot on Friday left for Uttarakhand to supervise relief works being carried out for Rajasthani people trapped there.

Gehlot is accompanied by Jaipur MP Mahesh Joshi, PCC Chief Dr Chandrabha, Chief Secretary C K Mathew and Principal Secretary-Finance Dr Govind Sharma.  He will meet and discuss the situation with his Uttarakhand counterpart and also hold a deliberation with officers there, according to a spokesperson.

A team led by state relief minister Brijendra Ola is already camping there to coordinate rescue and relief operations for people from the state. Several social organisations have also extended their support and their volunteers are collecting money for the victims of the disaster.

Some of the organisations also handed over cheques to the Chief Minister here before he left for Uttarakhand.
