SrinagarThe Government of Indias special representative for Kashmir Dineshwar Sharma is visiting Valley next week and is expected to meet various delegations for over a weeks time.
Sharma is expected to arrive here anytime after December 24 and is expected to meet people from cross sections of the society here.
Yes, I am coming to Kashmir by next week and I will chalk out the strategy for my forthcoming visit, he said.
When asked whether he is going to again try to meet the Hurriyat leadership that has so far expressed reluctance in meeting him, Sharma, guarded in his words, said he will see what his next Kashmir visit is going to yield. So far I can only tell you that I am coming and it hasnt been yet decided that whether I am going to meet any specific delegation or group, Sharma said.
On 6 November, this year, Sharma embarked on his first visit to the state as the GOI appointed interlocutor. His appointment was termed by the government as a major initiative for the efforts related to the sustenance of peace in the strife torn Kashmir Valley.
