In a landmark trip to Kashmir, the first since the revocation of Article 370, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is poised to inaugurate a series of developmental projects valued at upwards of Rs 6,400 crore and conduct a public gathering in Srinagar this Thursday. This pivotal visit marks Modi’s initial address to the Kashmiri populace following the August 5, 2019, decision by the central government led by the BJP, underscoring the importance of the event under stringent security measures.
The venue for Modi’s rally, Bakshi Stadium, has been adorned with the national flag, celebrating the significance of the occasion. Modi’s agenda includes participating in the ‘Viksit Bharat Viksit Jammu Kashmir’ event and launching projects nearing Rs 5,000 crore to enhance the agricultural economy in the Union Territory.
These projects are viewed as essential for driving development and prosperity in a region long affected by conflict and turmoil. Despite the controversies surrounding the repeal of Article 370, the government’s investment in these projects demonstrates a commitment to improving the lives of Jammu and Kashmir’s residents. This visit emphasizes the government’s dedication to integrating the region more fully with the rest of India and fostering positive change for its citizens.
