Gulmarg, Feb 21: Leader of the National Conference Omar Abdullah requested on Wednesday that the Central government upgrade Gulmarg’s skiing facilities in order to draw more winter sports enthusiasts to Kashmir. Although there is something special about skiing in Gulmarg, I’ve noted that the facilities haven’t changed since we left in 2014. at the last ten years, nothing new has been added, Abdullah informed reporters at this location. “The Gondola (cable car) went up interrupted probably just once in two days,” he continued.The former chief minister asserted that a number of skiers who had previously visited Gulmarg were now travelling to Kazakhstan. The former chief minister left office in 2014. “I would like the Central government to consider developing Gulmarg into a full-fledged skiing destination rather than just a site to host the Khelo India Games.” That’s something Gulmarg could do, he said. Abdullah expressed his happiness that Gulmarg was hosting the Khelo India Winter Games. “While I am pleased, Khelo India is making use of the infrastructure we constructed. There is nothing new there,” he declared.At this ski resort, the fourth edition of the Khelo India Winter Games got underway on Wednesday. There will be about 800 players during the five-day tournament. All four of the previous winter games editions have taken place in Gulmarg.
