To meet PRIs, other delegations
Jammu Tawi, Aug 25: The Parliamentary Committee on Home Affairs is scheduled to visit Jammu and Kashmir in the first week of September.
Sources said that the panel is expected to arrive on September 01 and remain in the region for five to six days.
Headed by BJP MP Radha Mohan Das Agarwal, the committee comprises 31 members, including prominent leaders such as Priyanka Gandhi, Kapil Sibal, Supriya Sule, Ajay Maken, and Derek O’Brien, among others.
Sources revealed that the panel is likely to meet representatives of Panchayati Raj Institutions (PRIs), members of civil society, and the business community to gather insights and feedback about different matters.
The committee was initially scheduled to visit Jammu and Kashmir on April 26. However, the visit was postponed at the last moment following a terrorist attack on tourists at Baisaran in Pahalgam on April 22, which tragically claimed 26 lives.
Meanwhile, Divisional Commissioner Kashmir, Anshul Garg today review preparations for the visit.
The meeting was attended by deputy commissioners of Srinagar, Baramulla, Bandipora, and Ganderbal, along with senior officials from Srinagar Airport, Rural Development, Health, Tourism, Education, Police, CRPF, and various development authorities.
