Getting DLL error with 'jupyter lab' command in Anaconda Installation

Question

Getting DLL error with 'jupyter lab' command in Anaconda Installation:

Details for system:

conda 4.5.11
Python 3.7.0
jupyter 4.4.0

Height of weirdness is that I am able to launch jupyter lab from Anaconda Navigator, but 'jupyter lab' is not working and throwing below exception:

Traceback (most recent call last):

Although I have posted this question, but now I also got a solution for the same.

Please add following in the path variable, it will be resolved thereafter (I just checked):

C:\ML\installed_tools\anaconda3 (was already present)
C:\ML\installed_tools\anaconda3\Scripts (was already present)
C:\ML\installed_tools\anaconda3\Library\bin (added now)
C:\ML\installed_tools\anaconda3\Library\mingw-w64\bin (added now)
