Participants of the ‘Snow Jeep Adventure’ raced their vehicles at high speed on two feet of snow and showed off their driving skills. Deputy Commissioner Captain Rao Bilal was invited as the chief guest of the event. While talking to The Express Tribune, he said that the administration will take all possible steps to promote tourism in Kaghan Valley.
