Pushing the party machinery into the relief work for Uttarakhand flood victims, Congress President Sonia Gandhi will flag off relief material from the party headquarters in New Delhi on Monday while two senior leaders will be sent to oversee relief work in Dehradun on Monday.

"Party treasurer Motilal Vora and AICC general secretary and incharge of Congress President's Office Ambika Soni are visiting Congress Control Room in Uttarakhand to oversee relief operations and coordinate with PCC sending relief materials," party's Communication Department in-charge Ajay Maken said.

Vora told PTI that he and Soni will leave for Dehradun on Sunday morning to oversee distribution of relief material that reach there from PCCs.

In a press release, Maken said both the leaders are going to further coordinate relief work and related logistics there.
