Had to cancel yatra due to security collapse:- Rahul Gandhi in Anantnag

Srinagar January, 27 (PTK) Senior congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Friday alleged that Police arrangement completely collapsed & Police people who were supposed to manage the crowd were nowhere to be seen.

My security people were very uncomfortable with me walking further on yatra so I had to cancel my yatra, he said.
