Prime Minister Narendra Modi arrived in Pathankot on Saturday morning to take stock of the situation in the aftermath of the terror attack at the air base last Saturday.
Security forces had declared the sprawling Air Force station fully sanitised on Friday after a massive combing operation spanning over three days.
Suspected Jaish-e-Mohammad terrorists carried out the attack at the Pathankot air base last Saturday. The siege continued for three days ending with the security forces killing all the six terrorists. Seven security personnel were also martyred in the operation.
During his visit, the prime minister is also likely to undertake an aerial survey of the India-Pakistan border areas, official sources said.
