Gujarat has a 508-km-long border with Pakistan and hence is a sensitive area from India's point of view as far as national security is concerned. The recent Pakistani drone strike at the Bhuj airbase is an important facility for the Indian Air Force. Singh's visit is intended to assess the security arrangements at the airbase and the competence of India's air defence.
