SHIMLA, Dec. 16, 2023 (TBINN)

Nearly eight years after it was sanctioned, Asia’s biggest natural ice skating rink in Shimla awaits its conversion into an artificial rink so that skating sessions could be held throughout the year.

Members of ice skating club of the capital city of Himachal Pradesh expressed apprehension on the lack of “concrete steps” taken on the project and the shrinking skating season.

The all-weather ice skating rink would be constructed at a cost of Rs 40 crore, members said citing the Detailed Project Report (DPR).
