Praise
PM's visit comes day after he praised armed forces
The PM visited the Air Force station just one day after praising the country's "formidable" armed forces.
Apart from the Adampur station, Pakistani soldiers also allegedly targeted sites in Udhampur, Jammu and Kashmir, and other military posts in Rajasthan and Gujarat, as well as civilian populations in Ferozepur, Punjab.
India has also alleged attacks on schools and medical facilities, which Pakistan denies.
Attack
Indian military launched precision attacks
The Indian military launched precision attacks against nine terror sites in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir last week.
The strikes provoked a Pakistani military response, which lasted three nights before a truce, mediated by US President Donald Trump, took action.
Over 100 terrorists were killed in India's retaliatory attack, which PM Modi said Monday night was India's policy against terrorism.
"It is the new normal," he said.
