Prime Minister
Narendra Modi’s first will visit Jammu and Kashmir on July 4. Apart from an
extensive security review meeting with army, paramilitary and intelligence
officials, Mr. Modi is also scheduled to inaugurate a National
Hydroelectric Power Corporation of India project on river Jhelum in Uri and flag off the
inaugural train at the newly-constructed Katra Railway Station
— the base camp of the Mata Vaishno Devi pilgrimage
in Reasi district — during the daylong visit. Jitendra Singh, Minister of State
in charge of the Prime Minister’s Office, said the process of annulling Article 370 had already
begun, and Defence and Finance Minister Arun Jaitley
said the Centre was willing to speak to those “who want to function under the
Indian Constitution and Indian sovereignty,” short of Mr. Vajpayee’s
formulation that a solution would be sought within the framework of humanity.
