Chennai, Jul 10 (UNI) Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi will pay a day's visit to Chennai tomorrow.

Police sources told UNI here today that Mr Modi would arrive here by 1615 hrs by special flight from Ahmedabad. He is expected to leave Ahmedabad at 2200 hrs.

After a brief stay at a hotel, he would attend a function at the D G Vaishnav College at suburban Arumbakkam, organised by 'Gujarati Sangham'.
