Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his day long visit to Jammu and Kashmir arrived at world's highest battlefield in Siachen this morning. He held discussions with army officers and jawans there. During his stay with jawans, the Prime Minister got first hand information about their problems and issues.

Mr. Modi conveyed the message that every Indian stands shoulder to shoulder with them. He also had aerial survey of some other difficult area in Ladakh region. On the 2nd leg of his visit, the Prime Minister will be arriving in Srinagar this afternoon to meet delegations of flood affected people at Raj Bhawan.

AIR correspondent reports that he will also interact with top administrative and police officials apart from having meeting with J & K Governor N.N.Vohar and Chief Minister Omar Abdullah.

Amid hopes and speculations of a Diwali package for flood affected in Kashmir Valley, PM Modi is scheduled to meet a cross section of people during his brief visit in the city. At least 12 delegations including the flood affected people and Civil Society would appriase PM about the situation they have been confronting with, post floods.

Though all eyes are on the expected announcement of PM's Food package, the political parties have reacted on his visit on expected lines. This would be his fourth visit to J & K state and third to valley after taking over as PM which has generated hopes among the common kashmir that the PM is concerned about the development of the militancy ridden state.
