Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who is scheduled to return to India after his two-nation visit on Friday, will head straight to Bengaluru, Karnataka to meet the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) scientists involved in the Chandrayaan-3 Mission.
After a 40-day journey into space, the Chandrayaan-3 lander, ‘Vikram’, touched down on the uncharted lunar South Pole on Wednesday evening, making India the first country to do so. The Prime Minister, who joined the live telecast of Chandrayaan-3 landing online from South Africa, will meet and congratulate the ISRO scientists on Saturday.
Moreover, during his visit to Bengaluru, PM Modi will also hold a mega roadshow. Former deputy chief minister and BJP MLA R Ashoka said that the roadshow will be held between Jalahalli Circle to ISRO headquarters in Bengaluru.
“I request the people and party workers to attend the roadshow to congratulate scientists and PM Modi,” he said.
