Dhanbad, Feb 28: The visit of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to Dhanbad on March 1 will create a new record.
This will be the first time a Prime Minister will hold two-rallies in a district of the state same day.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to arrive here on March 1 to inaugurate Hindustan Urvarak and Rasayan Limited (HURL) Sindri. He will inaugurate the plant at 11 am and hold a public rally there. However, officials said it will be a small rally inside HURL premises.
