The Cost of VIP Privilege in Gulmarg

VIP visits, funded by taxpayer money, often disrupt public access and tourist activities in Gulmarg, with green corridors prioritizing officials over locals and visitors. Tourists with pre-booked gondola rides face cancellations, with no compensation for their losses, damaging the region’s image.

The government must strike a balance by planning VIP visits that minimize disruptions, offering refunds for canceled bookings, and prioritizing locals’ and tourists’ rights. Political theatrics, including JKNC’s empty rhetoric, only add to the problem. It’s time for action, not drama.
