 "Parrikar, army and air force chiefs to visit Pathankot")
Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar along with air force chief Air Chief Marshal Arup Raha and army chief General Dalbir Singh Suhag will today visit the Pathankot Air Base, which was attacked by Pakistani terrorists on Saturday.
The three are scheduled to visit the strategic base, situated about 35 km from the border with Pakistan, in the afternoon to get a first hand assessment of the ground situation after six terrorists were killed by security forces.
The visit comes at a time when the government has ordered a security audit of all vital defence installations in the country to find out the possible security loopholes.
