2 Kashmiri athletes denied US visa

SRINAGAR: Two snowshoers from Kashmir have alleged they have been denied visa to the US due to “current (US) policy”.

“Indian Snowshoers Denied Visas, due to ‘current (US) policy’. This from our good friend Abid Khan, from Kashmir, minutes ago in our Facebook Messaging,” Clyde Rabideau, Mayor of the Village of Saranac Lake in New York, wrote on his Facebook page.

The snowshoers reportedly denied visas are Abid Khan and Tanveer Hussain. They were supposed to take part in the 2017 World Snowshoe Championships in New York from February 24-25.

According to the conversation posted by Rabideau on his page, Khan informed him about the denial of the visa. (AGENCIES)
