Srinagar (NVI): A fresh batch of 25 foreign diplomats reached Kashmir today for assessment of the ground situation in the aftermath of abolition of Article 370.
This is the second batch of foreign diplomats visiting Jammu and Kashmir in the last one month. Earlier, a group of 15 diplomats visited in January.
The delegation, including envoys from Germany, Canada, France and Afghanistan, will be meeting fruit growers in North Kashmir before reaching Srinagar where they are scheduled to meet media representatives, civil society groups and politicians of Jammu and Kashmir, officials said.
The Indian Army will also brief the visiting diplomats on the security situation in Kashmir.
The envoys will spend a night in Srinagar before moving to Jammu tomorrow where they are expected to meet Lieutenant Governor GC Murmu and civil society groups.
The fresh batch of diplomats also includes EU representatives from Poland, Bulgaria and Czech Republic, and their participation assumes significance as the EU Parliament recently initiated to bring a joint draft resolution on the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and Kashmir, the vote on which was later deferred.
