Kansal will be assisted by IAS officers Syed Abid Rashid and Sarmad Hafeez, while Gupta will be assisted by M Raju as joint nodal officer.
Several media teams are expected to visit Jammu and Kashmir for ground reporting on the developments in the union territory since it was carved out from erstwhile state on August 5 last year.

They are also likely to meet selected civil society activists during their visit to the valley.
