Impressive that 18 MPs are on the ground! But I wish the Congress MP would focus on Kashmir's urban housing issues instead of dragging Telangana politics into it. 🇮🇳

Finally some cross-party cooperation! The TDP MP's comment about customer numbers tripling is promising - tourism is Kashmir's backbone. Hope the development funds translate to better roads and housing for locals.

Nice to see politicians from all parties together. But the Congress MP's remarks about PM Modi and Telangana seem off-topic - this visit is about Srinagar's urban development, not state politics. Stay focused, please!

As someone who visited Srinagar last year, I can vouch for the improvement in infrastructure. The clock tower area is much cleaner. However, long-term peace and jobs for local youth remain critical. Let's hope the committee addresses those too.

BJP MP saying "Kashmir is an inseparable part of India" is important for national unity. But actions speak louder - more development, more jobs, and normalcy will build trust. The study tour model is good, but let's see concrete results on ground. 👀

The TDP MP saying "Kashmir as a peaceful place on world map" - that's the dream! But peace requires both development and political solutions. All-party visits like this are a step in right direction. Hope they talk to local residents too, not just officials.
