The cost of VIP visits, including the Chief Minister & Cabinet members, is typically borne by the government, which means taxpayers money is being used. It's unclear why the police are providing a green corridor, effectively prioritizing VIP movement over public access, making Gulmarg inaccessible to locals & tourists.

This raises concerns about the impact on tourists, who may have pre-booked and paid for gondola tickets & other activities, only to have them canceled due to VIP visits. The question remains, who will refund these tourists for their canceled bookings & expenses?

It's essential to strike a balance between facilitating VIP visits & ensuring that public access and tourist activities are not unduly disrupted. The government should consider compensating tourists for their losses & exploring alternative arrangements for VIP visits that minimize the impact on locals and tourists @BaramullaPolice @OfficeOfLGJandK @JmuKmrPolice @OmarAbdullah @DCBaramulla @errashid11
