Pathankot, Jan 9 (IBNS) Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday is visiting the air force base in Punjab's Pathankot district that was attacked by six terrorists from Pakistan on January two.

Seven security personnel were martyred and another 20 were injured in the attack.

Reports said PM Modi arrived at the air base around 11 in the  morning. Later,  he will conduct an aerial survey of border areas.
 

At the base, after being briefed by Air Commodore J S Dhamoon, he will visit the area where the terrorists were holed up. He will also meet injured soldiers.
 
On Friday,  security forces had declared that the air force station in Pathankot,where India keeps fighter jets and attack helicopters, was fully sanitized.
 
The combing operation began after the six Pakistani terrorists, believed to belong to the Jaish-e-Mohammed, were gunned down in a four-day gunfight.
 
India has urged Pakistan to take immediate action against  those who conceived and executed the attack.
 
The evidence furnished by India includes intercepts of phone calls made by the six terrorists to their handlers in Pakistan. Ammunition and other equipment recovered from them after they were killed were made in Pakistan.
 
At a second high-level meeting on Friday, Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz  Sharif reiterated his country's commitment to cooperate with India on investigating the attack.
 
After a meeting on Thursday, he had ordered an investigation into the evidence provided by India, a media report said.
