The 16-day Yatra will cover a distance of 1,728 km visiting 21 districts, he said.
The second 'Parivartan Yatra' will be flagged off by J P Nadda in Jashpur (north Chhattisgarh) on September 16. This yatra will cover a distance of 1,261 km in 12 days in the Bilaspur and Surguja divisions, Sao added.
