The delegation was on a two-day visit to Jammu and Kashmir.

On the second day of its visit, the delegation visited Jammu where the members met over 200 persons in about 18 different delegations from various sections of society.

Earlier in the day, before reaching Jammu, the delegation met various delegations including political parties and civil society organisations in Srinagar.

During the discussions, various points emerged like perception management of media, specially social media is very important to channelize the energies of youths in the right direction.

"The media should report on the incidents keeping the larger context in mind. The concern was also expressed on the source of funding of the terror-related activities," the delegation noted.

It was also emphasised that rehabilitation of released/surrendered militants is also very important for which the Government already has a scheme.

Addressing media persons in Srinagar, Unipn Home Minister Rajnath Singh said that all parties have consensus that situation in Jammu and Kashmir should improve at the earliest.

He said that the delegation’s talks with the various sections in J&K have been fruitful.

The Home Minister also informed the gathering that Sanjay Roy from Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has been nominated as the Nodal Officer to address the grievances of people of Jammu and Kashmir.

The grievances can be reported, 24 X 7, on the following phone numbers: 01123092923, 01123092885 and email: dirmjk-mha@nic.in.

Later in the evening, the Home Minister addressed the media in Jammu also.
