Union Home Minister Amit Shah will arrive in Jammu on Sunday evening for a three-day visit to the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir. Shah will conduct a detailed appraisal of security operations, development projects, and engage with senior BJP party members.
According to sources, Shah is set to land in Jammu around 6 p.m. from Jaipur, Rajasthan. Upon arrival, he will proceed directly to the Raj Bhavan, the official residence of the Lieutenant Governor, which will serve as his operational base throughout his stay in both Jammu and Srinagar. Later in the evening, around 8 p.m., Shah will visit Dr. Shyama Prasad Mukherjee Bhawan, the Bharatiya Janata Party’s regional headquarters in Trikuta Nagar, for a closed-door interaction with BJP legislators and senior party strategists.
On the morning of April 7, Shah will tour the Border Security Force’s forward post at Vinay in the Kathua district at approximately 10:30 a.m., where he will examine on-ground operational readiness and receive a detailed briefing on challenges posed by cross-border threats.
At 2 p.m. the same day, Shah is scheduled to meet the families of Jammu and Kashmir Police personnel who lost their lives in the line of duty. The interaction, set to take place at Raj Bhavan, will also see him handing over appointment letters to select next-of-kin on compassionate grounds.
Following this, Shah is expected to pay a visit to the Shiv Temple in Gandhi Nagar before flying to Srinagar in the evening. Upon his arrival in the Valley, he will head to the residence of late DySP Humayun Bhat to express condolences to the bereaved family. Bhat, 32, was killed during a counter-terror operation in Kokernag on September 13, 2023, and was posthumously awarded the Kirti Chakra on Independence Day for his exceptional bravery.
