Earlier, Advisor to the Chief Minister had announced a ban on the free accommodation provided to VIPs and their families in government rest houses managed by the Department of Tourism and Culture and Tourism Authorities.
The decision was taken after several complaints from the common citizens regarding the unavailability of accommodation in government rest houses. The tourists complained that the VIPs stay at the rest houses for free for extended periods without paying any fees.
