The Gulmarg Development Authority(GDA) announced that there will be no tents in Gulmarg without permission. The Authority has maintained that environmental concerns and illegal activities led to the decision.
Gulmarg Development Authority CEO Waseem Raja, in a notification, said that the installation of tents will require prior permission from the authority. He said that they have taken this decision to protect the eco-fragile zone of Gulmarg and maintain the status of region as world famous tourist destination.
“The directive comes in response to the increasing number of tents being set up without proper authorisation, leading to issues such as littering, illegal parking on green slopes, lighting fires on greens, and law and order problems,” it said.
“Visitors wishing to install tents in Gulmarg must apply for permission via email at gulmarggda@gmail.com or through WhatsApp at 8803993001. No tents will be allowed without prior approval from the GDA,” the communique added.
