A group of around 15 foreign envoys based in New Delhi will be taken to the Jammu and Kashmir on Thursday by the government to review the ground situation, sources said.
The decision was taken after some envoys based in the national capital requested to visit Jammu and Kashmir.
“We have been receiving requests from some envoys based in Delhi to undertake a visit Jammu and Kashmir. Our consistent position has been that we may consider the request only after analyzing the security situation and checking the ground situation with J & K administration,” sources said.
