Indian President A.P.J. Abdul Kalam will visit the India-controlled Kashmir area next month and is likely to address a convocation during his three-day stay there, the Press Trust of India (PTI) reported on Sunday.
The tentative schedule of the President includes addressing a convocation at Jammu University, meeting some individuals in Srinagar and also a visit to a school, according to PTI.
The visit is likely to take place in the third week of June but the security arrangements were being reviewed for his visit, it said.
