"I want to urge to the Chief Minister of every state, no matter to whichever party they belong, to look into the incidents much more closely if we want to improve tourism in our country, and as we know that it is increasing in India at a pace. So, it becomes the responsibility of the government to ensure the safety of the tourists on a priority bases," Soni said.
