Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit Kashmir valley next week for the first time since his government stripped Jammu and Kashmir of special status under Article 370 and bifurcated the state into two Union Territories in 2019.

NDTV has learnt that the Prime Minister will be addressing a rally in Srinagar on March 7 and launch various schemes during his trip.

"It was a longstanding demand of people here that the Prime Minister come and address them. Now on March 7, he will be addressing a rally," Jammu and Kashmir BJP chief Ravinder Raina told NDTV.
