The second leg of the 5th edition of the Khelo India Winter Games, scheduled to be held in Gulmarg from February 22, 2024, has been postponed due to insufficient snowfall. The J&K Sports Council shared the update on social media on Monday. “The 5th edition of the Khelo India Winter Games, initially set for February 22-25, 2024, has been postponed due to insufficient snowfall. A new assessment will be conducted once snow conditions improve, and the revised update will be announced accordingly,” the council wrote on X.
