KASHMIR-CCS 3 LAST

As part of the eight-point initiative, Chidambaram said
two Special Task Forces--one each for Jammu region and Ladakh
region in northern India --will be appointed to examine the
developmental needs of the two regions, with particular
reference to deficiencies in infrastructure and make suitable
recommendations.
Later in a brief interaction with the reporters,
Chidambaram refused to take any questions on AFSPA and said
"let the state government first conduct the review."
On being asked if the disturbed areas act was withdrawn
by the Unified Headquarters, will that lead to a similar fate
to AFSPA, Chidambaram said "I cannot say. I will have to wait
for review."
He said as a matter of "prudence and past practice", the
Unified Command advises the state government before a
discussion with the Centre could begin. PTI SKL
