Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit Uttarakhand on Thursday to review the devastation caused by the relentless monsoon that has battered every district of the state.
The Prime Minister is scheduled to arrive in Dehradun on Thursday evening. Around 4:15 p.m., he will undertake an aerial survey of the flood-affected regions to assess the extent of the damage.
Later, at 5 p.m., he will chair a high-level review meeting with state and central officials to evaluate the progress of relief and rehabilitation efforts.
Officials confirmed that elaborate security arrangements have been made for the Prime Minister’s visit.
Uttarakhand has been reeling under severe monsoon-triggered disasters for the past few months, as cloudbursts, landslides, and flash floods left behind widespread destruction.
