Group chairman Mohammad Hamid Ansari said Saturday: 'All members - have agreed on the recommendations that will be sent to the prime minister.'
But he declined to give any details of the proposals 'before they are discussed at the next RTC'.

The group has suggested measures to improve the condition of people affected by militancy, schemes for the rehabilitation of orphans and widows, relaxation of conditions for people who have given up militancy, effective rehabilitation including employment for Kashmiri Pandit migrants, preservation and protection of cultural heritage of the state and the return of Kashmiri youths who went to Pakistan for training.
