After a two-day visit to the strife-torn state, the delegation led by Union Home Minister Shivraj Patil returned here this evening.
Patil, however, exuded confidence that solution would be found out after considering all the suggestions made at the meeting over the past two days.
To a question, the Home Minister said that he would brief Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, at whose initiative the delegation visited the state, on the outcome of the talks.
At the hurriedly convened press conference at the Delhi airport, National Conference leader Farooq Abdullah said in presence of other leaders that BJP's plan to hold the nationwide agitation might escalate the trouble.
Jaitley on his part earlier said that talks would have been held long before. He felt that if exercise of having talks continue, then a solution to the row would be found.
The Home Minister in his opening remarks said, "the situation was improving and blockades have been removed. The road from Valley to Jammu and to Punjab has been cleared, he said and promised compensation to the victims of the ongoing agitation.
