Although the administration had tightened security during the visit of the envoys to Srinagar on Wednesday, but several Kashmiris conveyed their grievances on Twitter, particularly to Qadiry who remained active on the social media.
About two dozen delegations met the envoys in Jammu. The envoys visited the Jagati area near Nagrota where the migrant Kashmiri Pandits have been accommodated. The migrants urged them to take stock of their ethnic cleansing from the Valley.
Few other delegations appreciated the abrogation of Article 370 and complete integration of Jammu and Kashmir and also Ladakh with the rest of India.
They were unable to fly to Baramulla due to bad weather.
