More than 100 delegates, including at least 70 representing G20 member-states, are expected to participate.
As per the schedule, the delegates, after holding deliberations with stakeholders in the tourism sector on the first day, will go on a tour of Srinagar. An initial plan to take them to Gulmarg overnight on the second day has been scrapped — sources in police told The Indian Express that besides security concerns, the logistics of taking nearly 150 people to Gulmarg was considered “unfeasible”.
