Node js symlink failure in windows

I am trying to create a symlink with node js which comes in gulp.js file. When I tried it out in Ubuntu it is working fine but when I tried it out in windows it is throwing an error as

Error: EPERM: operation not permitted, symlink

Please find the code regarding symlink in gulp.js below

function linkDirs(src, dst) {
  return new Promise(function (resolve, reject) {
    fs.symlink(src, dst, function (err) {
      if (err && err.code !== 'EXIST') {
        reject(err)
      } else {
        resolve()
      }
    })
  })
}

Can anyone help me out in finding the solution for this? Thanks in advance.
