Parliamentary panel visits Gulmarg to review facilities

Srinagar: The Parliamentary Standing Committee on Personnel, Public Grievances, Law and Justice on Sunday visited the famous tourist resort of Gulmarg to review the facilities, public grievances and redressal system.

The 29-member committee, led by Member of Parliament Brij Lal, is currently on a three-day visit to Jammu and Kashmir.

The committee -- comprising 20 Lok Sabha members and nine from the Rajya Sabha -- includes Ranjan

Gogoi, A. Raja, Kalyan Banerjee, Vivek Tankha and Swati Maliwal

The committee is scheduled to meet with the chief secretary and government officials in Srinagar.

It will submit a report to Parliament after the meeting.

The committee was scheduled to visit Jammu and Kashmir on May 9, but it was postponed after the Centre decided to launch Operation Sindoor following the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack, said officials.

They added that most of the committee members were satisfied with regard to the security situation in the valley.
