Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to visit Kedarnath on Friday, a day before the portals of the Himalayan shrine close for the winters.

The prime minister will also lay the foundation stones for a slew of reconstruction projects in Kedarpuri, including renovation of Adi Guru Shankaracharya's tomb which was devastated in the catastrophic flash floods of 2013.

PM Modi also addressed the masses and asked them to pledge that they would eradicate negativity from the country by 2022.
