As many as 70 ministers in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s union government are likely to visit Jammu and Kashmir as part of a special public outreach programme beginning next week.
In the nine-week long programme that starts on September 10, at least eight ministers are expected to visit the Union Territory each week, according to reports. The ministers will interact with the public, the administration, and Panchayati Raj Institutions during the visit, the reports said.
This will be the second outreach by the union government in Jammu and Kashmir after the August 2019 abrogation of Article 370 that granted special status to the erstwhile state. At least 36 union ministers had visited the UT in January last year.
