Good to see the Home Minister taking time to visit J&K personally. Security review is much needed after recent incidents. Hope this brings positive changes 🙏

While I appreciate the visit, I wish there was more focus on economic development projects rather than just security meetings. The people need jobs and infrastructure too.

The Amarnath Yatra security planning is crucial - last year went smoothly, hope this year is even better organized. Safety of pilgrims should be top priority.

Three days seems like a packed schedule! Hope they don't rush through important discussions. Quality over quantity when it comes to these reviews.
