Dehradun: Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit poll-bound Uttarakhand in the first week of December to address a public meeting.

The Prime Minister’s programme for Uttarakhand early next month is final, Pradesh BJP president Madan Kaushik told reporters here on Thursday.

The date and venue of the Prime Minister’s public meeting, however, is yet to be finalised, he said.

The possible dates are December 3 or 4, Kaushik said.

It will be Modi’s third visit to the state in three months.
