Twelve people, including six girls hailing from different areas of Jammu and Kashmir including Kargil, Leh, Dogri, Balti, Darti and Sheena received the passengers with flowers at the gate of the heavily-guarded SKICC.
Jammu and Kashmir Government officials led by Divisional Commissioner of Kashmir Khurshid Ahmad Ganai garlanded the passengers.
A cultural programme of folk dance and songs was performed for the visitors as the original Kashmiri sound track of 'Bumbro Bumbro' whose Hindi version in the Bollywood movie 'Mission Kashmir' was a big hit played in the background.
