India To Take Second Batch Of Foreign Envoys To Kashmir This Week

The Indian government will take a second set of foreign envoys to Kashmir this week, a month after the first group of foreign diplomats was taken to the region whose special status was revoked by New Delhi in August. “Since the last visit of envoys to Jammu and Kashmir on 9-10 January 2020, we have received several requests from foreign ambassadors to visit the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir," a person familiar with the development said. “A group of envoys from different geographical regions, will be visiting Jammu and Kashmir this week. We will share further updates in due course." The visit will take place ahead of a trip to Europe later this week by Indian foreign minister S Jaishankar who is expected to meet members of the European Parliament to explain the situation in the region where the Centre has imposed curbs on communication and movement and detained some political leaders.
