Authorities in Kashmir have made massive security deployments in the capital city Srinagar ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's rally on March 7

This would be the first visit of the PM to Kashmir since the abrogation of Article 370 in August 2019. The J&K administration and the BJP have made elaborate preparations to make this programme a success

BJP’s Jammu and Kashmir president Ravinder Raina on Monday claimed that thousands of people are expected to participate in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s rally in Srinagar on March 7

According to an official statement, Modi will attend the "Viksit Bharat Viksit Jammu Kashmir" programme at Srinagar's Bakshi Stadium and inaugurate initiatives worth nearly Rs 5,000 crore for boosting the agri-economy in the Union Territory

With the Lok Sabha election around the corner and opposition parties seeking an announcement on Assembly polls in Jammu and Kashmir, the prime minister's scheduled visit has acquired a keen political dimension in terms of what he might have to say on the issue

The BJP-led Centre unilaterally abrogated the provisions of Article 370 on August 5, 2019 and bifurcated the erstwhile state into the fedderally administered Union territories of Jammu and Kashmir, and Ladakh
