“Warm welcome to PM Modi as he arrives in Bengaluru to congratulate ISRO scientists for the successful Chandrayaan 3 mission,” former Karnataka CM Basavaraj Bommai said on social media on Friday.

Police officials said the PM is expected to reach ISTRAC by 7.30 am and interact with the scientists to get a first hand view of the mission.

Modi was in Bengaluru in September 2019 when the Chandrayaan-2 landing failed. This time he was in Johannesburg for the BRICS summit when Chandrayaan-3 landed on the moon. On August 23, the PM said the succesful landing signified India’s emergence as a developed country.
