Jammu, May 15: A deputation of the National Conference Minority Cell led by its president Jatin Bhat called on the Relief and Rehabilitation Commissioner, Migrants, KK Sidha and discussed various issues pertaining to migrants.
Dy Relief Commissioner Davinder Singh and Assistant Commissioner Relief Dr Reyaz were also present on the occasion, a party statement issued here said.
