Pawan Gupta himself a Civil Engineer from REC Srinagar and who has worked in construction sector for over 30 years reflected on how Udhampur holds vast potential for tourism but promotion of tourism requires pre-existence of quality infrastructure.

He promised to create international quality infrastructure that will put Udhampur on the international map.
Pawan Gupta disclosed that it is unfortunate Udhampur is not on the map of tourism and assured that he will bring the entire district on the map of tourism for the promotion of tourism industry which will help to provide economic security to the youth if voted to represent the people.
