Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar today cancelled his day-long visit to Tawang bordering China due to inclement weather.
Parrikar, who reached Tezpur in Assam's Sonitpur district yesterday on a two-day visit to Assam and Arunachal Pradesh, could not materialize his trip to Tawang despite his two attempts from Rangia in Assam due to unfavourable climate, defence officials said.
The defence minister was to visit forward areas to meet troops deployed in the border district.
He was also scheduled to grace the second day of the three-day Tawang festival.
