Within a month of his historic trip to the world's highest battlefield Siachen, President A P J Abdul Kalam will tomorrow visit the Line of Control in the Rajouri-Poonch sector in Jammu and Kashmir.

Commencing his visit with an interactive session with Army School Children at Udhampur, the Northern Command Headquarters, he will later go around the Command Hospital.

Kalam, the Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces, will see the fencing work underway along the LoC and also interact with officers and jawans during his day-long stay. He will later address the jawans and join in 'Bara Khana'.

The President will go to Pathankot where he will lay wreath at the war memorial and also visit the war museum. He will interact with children of the Air Force School and tour the air base where he will take a look at aircraft and weapons systems and meet IAF personnel.

Kalam had become the first-ever President to visit Siachen when last month he met armed forces personnel and had a first hand view of the duties being discharged by them with dedication while living in difficult conditions.

In June last year, Kalam had made his first trip to the LoC at Uri during his visit to Jammu and Kashmir. He had then travelled to Jammu, Udhampur, Srinagar and Leh.
