National Conference working president and former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Omar Abdullah on Thursday questions the authorities after a foreign skier died in an avalanche in north Kashmir’s ski resort Gulmarg.
“Very unfortunate. How were these skiers allowed to ski off-piste considering that avalanche warnings had been issued 24 hours ago?” Omar wrote on Twitter.
Pertinent to mention, a Swedish skier was killed while another was rescued by police after an avalanche struck tourist resort of Gulmarg area of district Baramulla on Thursday.
