According to the Minister, attendees are travelling from all across UT, especially from eleven districts in the Jammu region. He told them that while those from nearby areas like Samba and Kathua will come at the site tomorrow morning, those attending the programme from far-flung districts like Poonch, Kishtwar, and Ramban will arrive in the city either tonight.
