A busy yet highly industrious weekend awaits Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who has a smorgasbord of activities on his plate ranging from infrastructure, justice and diplomacy to spirituality and technology.

On April 1, Prime Minister Modi will be hosting his visiting Malaysian counterpart Najib Razak for bilateral talks at Delhis Hyderabad House.

The very next day he will dedicate to the nation, Indias longest road tunnel, the strategically crucial Chenani-Nashri Tunnel, which will significantly improve connectivity between Jammu and Srinagar.

After a visit to the state-of-the-art tunnel, he will also address a public meeting at Udhampur, sources state.

Later in the day, Prime Minister Modi will be at Allahabad to attend the closing celebrations of the 150th anniversary of the Allahabad high court.

This weekend comes in the midst of the Chaitra Navratra -- a nine-day period of fasting and spiritual importance for the prime minister.

Prime Minister Modi will take time out to address some of Indias sharpest young tech brains, who are taking part in the final round of the Smart India Hackathon that will take place over two days from 8 am on Saturday to 8 pm on Sunday.
