With the successful conduct of earlier winter games, Gulmarg has achieved its much deserved place on the global map of Winter Games. This year’s mascot the Snow Leopard depicts the vibrant heritage of the Himalayas. It also reiterates the administration’s commitment towards their conservation, added the Lt Governor.
