Stringent security arrangements have been put in place to ensure an incident-free visit as Bakshi Stadium, the venue of the prime minister's rally,? has been draped in tricolour, officials said.

In addition to ground-level surveillance, high-rise buildings surrounding the stadium have been occupied, with sharpshooters stationed to preempt any potential security threats.

In a significant development, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to address the largest public gathering in Kashmir since the abrogation of Article 370. Scheduled for March 7, this visit marks a pivotal moment in the region's trajectory post the constitutional amendment.
