Under a tight security cover, the iconic and historic Nedou’s Hotel was “smoothly” taken over by the Gulmarg Development Authority (GDA) after evicting the Nedou’s family and their staff, running the place for the past 137 years, as per a Supreme Court order.
“It was a smooth transition. They [the Nedou’s family] cooperated well. The hotel structures and the huts have been sealed as per the court orders. The GDA has taken over everything, including the articles inside for now,” Tariq Hussain Naik, Chief Executive Officer, GDA, who oversaw the takeover, told The Hindu.
