SRINAGAR, Dec 1 (Agencies): Preparations for the upcoming ice skating season are in full swing in the Sonamarg area of Central Kashmir’s Ganderbal district. Under the leadership of Gh. Mohammad Bhat (JKAS), CEO of the Sonamarg Development Authority (SDA), efforts are being made to create an unforgettable winter experience for both locals and tourists.
This initiative, which aims to promote ice skating as a winter sport, builds on the success of last year’s inaugural ice skating event organized by the SDA. The event marked Sonamarg’s debut in the world of ice skating, with a special focus on training local youth, particularly boys, to engage in this exciting sport.
The positive impact of the initiative has been widely felt in the local community. Many residents are thrilled at the growing opportunities ice skating is bringing to the region. “It’s not just a sport, it’s a chance to showcase Sonamarg’s winter charm to the world,” said a local resident.
The SDA’s dedication to developing winter sports has inspired local youth and boosted tourism prospects. This year’s event is expected to be even more thrilling, with enhanced facilities and wider participation anticipated.
