Dehradun: The National Skiing Championship at Auli has been cancelled on account of less snowfall.
The event was to be held from 24 February. Though the event was originally scheduled to be held from 2 to 8 February, it was postponed in the wake of the land subsidence in Joshimath.
The secretary of the Ski and Snow Board Association of Uttarakhand, Praveen Sharma, said, "All preparations had been made to conduct the National Skiing Competition. However, because of the sudden change in weather, it will not be possible to hold the event this year."
A popular tourist destination situated 12 kms above Joshimath, Auli is visited by people from all over the world. (with Agency inputs)
