New Delhi : Concerned about where its MPs and their guests would stay when they visit state capitals and key towns, a Rajya Sabha committee has asked for a list of guesthouses owned by central public sector undertakings (CPSUs).
A letter from the department of heavy enterprises directs various CPSUs to provide lists of their guesthouses in state capitals as well as in places of tourist and religious interest.
“The house committee of Rajya Sabha has expressed concern about the stay arrangement for Rajya Sabha members and their ‘guests’ during their visit in state capitals or places of tourist and religious importance,” says the letter.
Not only that, the Rajya Sabha house committee has also demanded a simpler arrangement for booking accommodation at CPSU-owned guesthouses for MPs.
“The house committee has also desired to know as to whether arrangement could be worked out to provide accommodation to MPs in the guest houses on request,” the letter says.
The letter directs that these lists should be sent directly to the Rajya Sabha house committee.
