Among the decisions announced by Chidambaram is to
appoint a group of interlocutors under the chairmanship of an
eminent person to begin the process of dialogue with all
sections of the people of Jammu and Kashmir in north India,
including political parties, groups, youth and student
organisations, civil society organisations and other stake
holders.
The Centre also advised the state government to
immediately release all students and youth detained or
arrested for stone pelting or similar other violations of law
and to withdraw charges against such students and youths.
The Centre would request the Jammu and Kashmir
government to immediately convene a meeting of the Unified
Command and to review the deployment of security forces in the
Kashmir Valley, especially Srinagar, with particular reference
to de-scaling the number of bunkers, check-points etc. in
Srinagar and other towns, and to review the notification of
areas as 'disturbed areas'.
A relief of Rs 5 lakh each will be paid to the families
of those killed in the civil disturbances since June 11, 2010.
The government also announced that two Special Task
Forces, one each for Jammu region and Ladakh region, will be
appointed to examine the developmental needs of the two
regions, with particular reference to deficiencies in
infrastructure and make suitable recommendations.
The Centre will request state government to take steps
to immediately reopen all schools, colleges, universities and
other educational institutions; hold special classes or
lectures, if necessary; and to ensure that the examinations
for the current academic year (2010-11) are conducted.
The Central government will provide to the state
government a sum of Rs 100 crore as Additional Central
Assistance (ACA) in order to make grants to schools and
colleges for improvements and additions to the existing
