"We had prepared this program earlier on May 9 but postponed due to Operation Sindoor - Brij Lal"

Jammu, June 28

The Parliamentary Standing Committee on Personnel, Public Grievances, Law and Justice, headed by BJP Rajya Sabha MP Brij Lal, arrived in Jammu on Friday to begin a multi-day visit focused on administrative review and public grievance redressal in the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir.

The visit will focus on reviewing administrative issues, addressing public grievances, and holding meetings with officials in Jammu and Kashmir.

Speaking to ANI in Jammu, Brij Lal said that the visit was originally scheduled for May 9 but was postponed due to Operation Sindoor.

"We had prepared this program earlier on May 9. We had combined it with Srinagar, but it was postponed due to Operation Sindoor. Today, our parliamentarians are gathering here. There are thirty-one members, and at least twelve to fifteen more are expected to arrive," he said.

Outlining the committee's agenda, Brij Lal said, "Tomorrow we will have a meeting with the Amarnath Shrine Board and also speak with the CEO. After this, we will head to Srinagar, where we will hold meetings with the Kashmir administration and PSUs there as well."

Meanwhile, Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor (LG) Manoj Sinha will flag off the first batch of the Amarnath Yatra from Jammu base camp on July 2, Jammu Divisional Commissioner Ramesh Kumar said on Friday.

Divisional Commissioner Kumar stated, "On 2nd July, LG Manoj Sinha will flag off the first batch from Jammu base camp."Providing an update on registration for the Yatra, he stated that Tatkal registration is available at five registration centres in Jammu, including one at Vaishnavi Dhaam.

He added that e-KYC and Radio Frequency Identification Cards (RFID) are mandatory for the pilgrimage.

Good to see focus on Amarnath Yatra arrangements. RFID tags are a smart move for pilgrim safety. But hope they also review the basic facilities - last year there were complaints about sanitation and medical camps enroute.

31 members visiting? That's quite a delegation! While review is important, I hope this doesn't become just another VIP trip costing taxpayers money. They should publish concrete action points after the visit.

As someone from Jammu, we desperately need better grievance redressal systems. The online portals never work properly and visiting offices means whole day wasted in queues. Hope this committee fixes the basics first!

Operation Sindoor delayed this but glad it's happening now. J&K needs continuous monitoring - not just visits when issues become headlines. The administration must become more proactive rather than reactive.

Interesting to see the focus on both governance and religious pilgrimage. As an outsider, it shows how India balances administrative priorities with cultural sensitivities. The e-KYC for yatris seems like a good security measure.

Hope they address the unemployment crisis in J&K too! So many educated youth without jobs leads to frustration. Governance isn't just about administration, it's about creating opportunities. #YouthMatters
