Delhi, Aug 27 (TIWN) Days after IANS reported that the BJP's election in-charge for Jammu and Kashmir Avinash Rai Khanna wrote to Union Tourism Minister Prahlad Patel to fast track tourism in the valley, the effect has started to show.

In an interview to PTI, Patel said he had already sent two officials from the Union culture and tourism ministry on deputation to Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh, who would act as an "advance team" before he would arrive there in the first week of September to take stock of the situation.
