Jammu and Kashmir CM Omar Abdullah backs artificial snow in Gulmarg amid climate concerns

Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah has pitched for the introduction of artificial snow in Gulmarg, citing changing weather patterns and the need to strengthen winter sports infrastructure. Speaking on the sidelines of the sixth Khelo India Winter Games in Baramulla, Abdullah said Gulmarg remains India’s premier winter sports destination but rising temperatures in February highlight the impact of climate change. He noted that major global winter sporting events rely on artificial snow, adding that similar mechanisms would help sustain winter tourism and support athletes. Abdullah also welcomed growing women’s participation in winter sports, stressing the need for better facilities and coaching to improve medal prospects. #OmarAbdullah #Gulmarg #KheloIndia #WinterGames #JammuAndKashmir #ArtificialSnow #WinterSports #Tourism #ClimateChange #PTINews #PTIVideos #PressTrustOfIndia Subscribe to PTI's YouTube channel for in-depth reports, exclusive interviews, and special visual stories that take you beyond the headlines. #PTIVideos PTI News : ptinews.com PTI Fact Check : ptinews.com/factcheck/factcheck.aspx PTI X (formerly Twitter): https://x.com/PTI_News PTI Instagram:   / ptinews_multimedia   PTI Facebook:   / presstrustofindia
