As per the ‘tour programme’ of the MoS shared by the local Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) unit on X (formerly Twitter), he will arrive at Dimapur Airport on Monday and proceed to Kiphire by flight.

In Kiphire, he is scheduled to hold a meeting with local leaders at the Deputy Commissioner’s Conference Hall in the early afternoon.
