Gulmarg Set To Showcase Real Impact Of Khelo Bharat Niti During KIWG 2026

Khelo India Winter Games: The upcoming edition of the Khelo India Winter Games in Gulmarg is poised to become a real-world example of the governments ambitious Khelo Bharat Niti, with a visible surge in tourism, local economic activity and national participation ahead of the February 23-26 competition window. Launched by the Union sports ministry in July last year, the Khelo Bharat Niti aims to strengthen Indias sporting ecosystem while leveraging major events to drive economic growth. By promoting infrastructure development, talent identification and international competitiveness, the policy also seeks to boost allied sectors such as tourism, manufacturing and sports technology. That vision is already taking shape in Gulmarg, one of Kashmirs premier winter destinations, where tourist interest has risen sharply in the lead-up to the Games. With Indias top skiers, including Winter Olympians, set to compete, the event has generated enthusiasm across the region, particularly among those whose livelihoods depend on sports tourism. Local businesses have seen a clear uptick in activity. Abeed, a hotelier at Sheen Woods Tangmarg, said bookings had surged weeks before the event. For us, this is more than just tourism. It is our identity. When the Games happen, Gulmarg feels like the heart of the country, he says, pointing to a lobby filled with athletes from Madhya Pradesh, Haryana, Kerala, Telangana and Jammu & Kashmir. You hear different languages at breakfast, he says. It feels like a country in one room. The growth of the Winter Games in Gulmarg reflects a steady upward trajectory. The inaugural edition in 2020 saw 1,123 athletes compete across 13 disciplines, with Jammu & Kashmir topping the medal tally. Participation rose to 1,208 athletes in 2021, with the host region winning 18 gold medals. The 2023 edition marked the peak with 1,395 athletes, as Jammu & Kashmir secured 26 gold, 25 silver and 25 bronze medals. Though the 2024 and 2025 editions featured fewer events and participants, competition intensified, with teams such as the Army, Himachal Pradesh and Karnataka delivering strong performances. Now, as the sixth edition approaches, the focus has shifted from experimentation to legacy-building, especially in reviving tourism after a challenging period. Following the April 22, 2025, terror attack in Pahalgam, domestic tourist arrivals to Kashmir dropped significantly to around 10.47 lakh in 2025, compared to approximately 26 lakh in 2024. However, officials from the tourism department said visitor numbers have rebounded this year, driven by the New Year rush and growing anticipation around the Winter Games. Gulmargs 2,300 hotel and hut beds are already over 50 per cent booked for the event period. Beyond hotels and resorts, the Games are also providing crucial income opportunities for seasonal workers. On the slopes of Kongdoori, sledge pullers Altaf Hussain and Muhammad Rafiq are preparing for the influx of visitors. This is our season, Hussain says, adjusting the ropes over his shoulders. When the games start, Gulmarg comes alive. The duo typically earn between Rs 500 and Rs 1,500 per tourist, depending on distance and time, with daily earnings ranging from Rs 1,500 to Rs 3,000 during peak periods, a stark contrast to lean days when tourist footfall is minimal. This is our season, Hussain says, adjusting the ropes over his shoulders. When the games start, Gulmarg comes alive. Also Read: Live Cricket Score As Gulmarg prepares to host another major winter sporting spectacle, the Khelo India Winter Games are emerging as more than just a competition. They represent a tangible demonstration of how sports policy can energise local economies, strengthen national sporting culture and reaffirm Gulmargs place as Indias winter sports capital.

Uppal Brewers & Distillers Enters Next Growth Phase with Dedicated Production Unit in Ponda, Goa

Uppal Brewers & Distillers (UBD), the premium beverage arm of The Uppal Group, today announced the commencement of its dedicated production operations in Ponda, Goa. UBD’s investment in this new infrastructure signals the Company's progress toward high-gear commercial output of the brand’s premium portfolio. Since debuting its flagship label, Soorahi, in January 2025, followed by the launch of Madhvan last August, UBD has leveraged Goa’s progressive framework and reputation as a global craft hub to anchor its next phase of industrial scale.  The Ponda facility, spanning 50,000 sq. ft. across a 2-acre site, will serve as UBD’s production hub, providing the scale and logistical agility required to grow its portfolio while maintaining the quality standards of a premium venture. The new plant will be the sole supply node for UBD’s core markets of Delhi NCR, Haryana, Punjab, and Daman & Diu. The facility will also support UBD’s planned expansion into Odisha, serving as a launchpad to explore the Eastern markets and strengthening supply readiness for the Company’s next phase of growth. “ For a young team like ours, establishing this dedicated unit in Ponda is a defining moment. It reflects our agility and our commitment to building a legacy from the ground up ,” says Kanhav Uppal, Co-founder, UBD . " It signals that UBD has moved beyond the foundational phase into a chapter defined by stability, scale, and a long-term commitment to excellence in the Indian craft landscape ." With this new infrastructure, UBD is geared to reach a diverse group of consumers across its 5 operational territories, addressing the growing preference for homegrown premium labels. UBD’s current portfolio features, Soorahi, an artisanal premium blend crafted for the modern traveller, celebrating exploration and refined taste (INR 1,700), and Madhvan, a bold blend of fine grains and select malts, designed for the aspirational consumer (INR 990). (Prices for both labels may vary by market.) “ Our early operations represent an important foundational phase—where we had focused on establishing our brands, refining processes, and gaining early adopters. Today, a year since launch, we have hit significant milestones and are confident in both our product and vision ,” said Ankur Sachdeva, CEO and Co-founder, UBD. “Beyond regulatory advantages, Goa’s rich heritage, cultural depth, and natural beauty played a meaningful role in our decision. There is an authentic connection to craft and provenance in Goa that mirrors our own approach ,” said Smita Singh, Head of Operations, UBD . “ This inspiration extends beyond the facility and subtly influences an upcoming product, whose provenance is closely linked to Goa’s cultural and natural landscape .”

Congress, SAD, BJP Drowned Punjab In Drugs: AAP Chief Arvind Kejriwal

Chandigarh: Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convener Arvind Kejriwal and the AAP-ruled Punjab chief minister Bhagwant Mann on Monday alleged that the opposition parties - Congress, Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) and the BJP had allowed the state to sink into narcotics, while, they claimed, the state AAP government is now mounting a sustained crackdown to reverse the damage. Speaking at the Village Defence Committee (VDC) oath ceremony in Moga district, the AAP leaders delivered a message on Punjabs Yudh Nashean Virudh (war against drugs) drive and held that for the first time in Punjabs history, a government has taken firm action against drug peddlers rather than protecting them. Kejriwal cited the seizure of 2,000 kilograms of drugs, the imprisonment of major traffickers and the demolition of their mansions. Notably, the VDCs have been formed in the state to play a more proactive role in the anti-drugs drive. - VDC , pic.twitter.com/Cu3nXOkUsS Arvind Kejriwal (@ArvindKejriwal) February 16, 2026 Kejriwal also cautioned the people of Punjab that returning previous regimes to power would risk pushing Punjab back into the grip of drugs. Chief minister Mann in his address reiterated that the Yudh Nashean Virudh campaign fulfils AAPs commitment to erase the stain of chitta from Punjab. Punjab And Haryana High Court Junks Suspended DIG Harcharan Singh Bhullars Bail Plea Also Watch: OPPN HITS BACK Hitting back at the AAP over Moga rally, Partap Bajwa, the leader of opposition - Congress is the principal opposition party in Punjab assembly- said in his post on X: ``890 government buses diverted, a Chief Secretary and DGP on a political stage and were supposed to believe this is governance? When state machinery becomes party machinery, probity dies and taxpayers foot the bill. Democracy deserves neutrality, not official endorsement. The Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) general secretary Gurpreet Singh Raju Khanna questioned the nature of the Moga rally asking ``If this is purely a political rally, why are the DGP and the Chief Secretary addressing it? And if it is a government programme, then why are political leaders like Arvind Kejriwal and Manish Sisodia on the stage? he asked. He said this apparent overlap raises concerns about misuse of official machinery and taxpayer resources for partisan activities. The BJP state chief Sunil Jakhar also alleged that the AAP government in Punjab is politicising the bureaucracy and raised questions over the presence of the Chief Secretary and the DGP at an AAP rally held in Moga.

Haryana CM Nayab Saini Rebuts AAP Allegations Of 'Operation Lotus', Says Party Trying To Hide Own Failures

Chandigarh: Rebutting the allegations of the Punjab Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) that he tried to lure its MLA into BJP under ``Operation Lotus'', the Haryana chief minister Nayab Saini on Friday held that the same were baseless and fabricated and that these were made to hide the party's (AAP's) own failures. Addressing newspersons in Delhi, Saini alleged that AAP first showed false dreams to the people of Delhi and deceived them. Later, in Punjab, it made promises that remained unfulfilled, causing distress among the people there. It may be recalled that the Punjab ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Thursday had accused Haryana chief minister Saini of ``attempting to lure one of its MLA to resign from the party and join BJP. pic.twitter.com/Q9TxrodCzp Nayab Saini (@NayabSainiBJP) February 13, 2026 The chief minister alleged the people of Punjab first voted for Congress, but Congress betrayed them. Later, they voted for AAP, which he described as a mega-deception. He claimed that law and order in Punjab is in poor condition and farmers are facing severe hardships. Women, Farmers In Focus As PM Modi Takes First Big Decisions From Seva Teerth Also Watch: Referring to flood compensation, he said that in Punjab, AAP supremo Arvind Kejriwal spoke of giving Rs 20,000 as compensation to farmers, but in Gujarat he claimed that Rs 50,000 had been given to Punjab farmers. He termed this as misleading farmers and reiterated that the MLAs allegations are factually incorrect and aimed at hiding shortcomings. He accused AAP of indulging in pressure politics in Punjab and said the party should fulfil its promises made to the public. On his recent visits to Punjab, Saini said Punjab is like home. He said whenever he is invited to Punjab, he visited there. He added that Punjab is the land of the Gurus, and it is a matter of pride that the Gurus also blessed the land of Haryana with their presence.
