Officials said that the ticketing squad at the Kongdoori station of Gulmarg Gondola caught 11 tourists from Gujarat along with a local guide, who had come to board the cable car from Kongdoori to Gulmarg on fake and edited tickets.
"They had reached Kongdoori in ponies and had come to undertake a return journey on fake/edited tickets. To avoid inconvenience to the tourists, they were brought to Gulmarg in the Gondola for investigation.

"The management of Gulmarg Gondola once again requests the general public and tourists in particular not to fall prey to touts who deceive them and provide them fake tickets.
