Jammu, Oct 1: The Youth Congress National Executive meet commencing tomorrow at SKICC in Srinagar apart from the main political agenda is going to witness some apolitical developments, thanks to the 'novel concept' that has dawned upon IYC authorities to make it look an event with a difference. For about 80 VIPs attending this prestigious meet amidst the picturesque Dal Lake and beautiful Srinagar city, IYC wants them to make at least one day stay with private residences of the functionaries and cadres of Congress at the local level, all to make them aware about rich Kashmiri culture and hospitality for which the people are Kashmir are famous.
