He is also likely to meet some delegations from different quarters of the society during his visit.
Earlier BJP senior leader and former Minister Sunil Sharma said Home Minister Amit Shah will chair a meeting to review the arrangements for the Amarnath yatra 2024.
He said people from different walks of life which include Gujjar, Bakerwall, Dal dwellers; civil society members and others can meet him as there will be no meet restrictions in place.

Any non-political or senior people can meet Shah but no political delegation is meeting him, Sharma added.
Shah is likely to be briefed about the security situation in Jammu and Kashmir by the top security brass as the Lok Sabha elections will be followed by the annual Amarnath Yatra, scheduled to start on June 29 and conclude on August 19.
