During his visit to Kashmir on March 7, the Prime Minister is expected to announce the score of developmental projects and also interact with the beneficiaries of various national schemes and programs in the Valley.
Sources said that the main venue of the Prime Minister’s visit will be the Bakshi Stadium and not the convention center by the banks of the Dal Lake.

They said that Bakshi Stadium has been chosen as the venue because a large number of people are expected to attend PM Modi’s program.
A large number of people including those from the civil society and various local organisations have exhibited interest in attending the Prime Minister’s programme in Srinagar city.

PM Modi will visit Kashmir at a time when separatists called Bandhs and strikes are a thing of the past. Stone pelting that had assumed menacing proportions before the abrogation of Article 370 has completely vanished. Educational institutions have functioned normally and a record number of over 2 crore tourists visited Kashmir last year.
Businesses have been running normally and the common man has been living a peaceful and fearless life after the abrogation of Article 370.

It is because of the historical decision to abrogate Article 370 and integrate J&K completely with the rest of the country that the Prime Minister has fixed a symbolic target of 370 seats for the BJP in the forthcoming Lok Sabha elections.
Even the political adversaries of the BJP admit that J&K has witnessed peace and normalcy after Article 370 was abrogated. However, the BJP had been looking forward to a mega public rally to be addressed by PM Modi in south Kashmir Anantnag district that would announce the party’s poll campaign in Kashmir.

There is still no official word on whether the Prime Minister addresses a rally in Anantnag or not.
There is, however, no doubt that the people look forward to the March 7 visit as they expect a generous development package and a probable announcement by the Prime Minister on the regularisation of thousands of ad-hoc and contractual employees working in various government departments.
