The civil society group, led by former External Affairs Minister Yashwant Sinha, today met Jammu and Kashmir Governor N N Vohra as part of its efforts to find a solution to the problems of the trouble-torn valley.
Sinha, accompanied by Sushobha Barve, Air Vice Marshal (retd) Kapil Kak and senior journalist Bharat Bhushan, met Vohra at the Raj Bhawan here, an official spokesman said.
The spokesman said Sinha and his team are visiting the Valley to talk to the leaders of various parties and groups about the issues facing Jammu and Kashmir.
"Sinha shared his experiences with the Governor who stressed the importance of the regional parties in J&K and all the stakeholders, particularly the civil society, playing a lead role for securing restoration of peace and normalcy," the spokesman added.
The Sinha-led team, which started their efforts at the peak of last year's unrest, arrived here yesterday and have met former chief ministers Omar Abdullah and Farooq Abdullah.
They are planning to meet people outside Srinagar during their visit.
