Locals who are associated with tourism business in Kufri hill station in Himachal Pradesh’s Shimla district are disappointed, with the administration banning snow adventure-related activities in the region.

ShashankAtri, Vice-Pradhan of a Kufri village Panchayat and hotelier in Kufrisaid, “We are not clear who will be allowed for snow-related activities as a Special Investigation Team was constituted and later the High Court has directed to ban such activities. The local youth here from three assembly segments and eight village Panchayats are involved in adventure activities and snow games. This decision by the authorities has left thousands of people jobless.”

RajenderVerma, a local who used to assist people in running snow adventure activities said, “We have skiing, snow sledge and other games like tube slide here. We use to have Kufri snow sports club. Snow related activities are the major source for employment here.”
