The visit, organized by the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA), comes days after a group of 15 foreign envoys, including the US Ambassador to India Ken Juster, moved the US embassy to the Valley to take stock of the ground situation. In October last year, this was the second batch of foreign envoys to be taken to Kashmir after right-wing European Union (EU) group 23.

However, opposition leaders have been repeatedly prevented from visiting Kashmir.

The Valley has been under special communications lockdown since it announced the cancellation of its special status. Although steps have been taken in the coming months to restore various modes of communication, the overall normalcy has not yet been restored.
