Share:Islamabad – The picturesque ski resort in Malam Jabba is at the brink of shutting all its operations and closing to tourists again over security threats from local influentials and miscreants. “We have invested billions of rupees on operations and maintenance of this resort, but the local influentials and miscreants have been threatening us with dire consequences,” Pir Waris Shah, a General Manager at the resort, said. The letter says that Samson's Group of Companies have received information from credible sources that the Malam Jabba Ski Resort in Swat is going to be attacked by miscreants from the Malam Jabba area with an intent to take over the resort. The Resort remained closed during the peak season of tourism in early summer for two months, causing huge inconvenience to tourists. The management has appealed to the prime minister to look into the issue and help keep the resort operational for tourists.
