I tried removing node_modules folder and re-installing it again, but issue persists.

please your directory structure and some code where you are facing this issue. — Vikash_Singh, Apr 03 '19 at 06:00

This can usually happen when something is wrong during the scaffolding/creation section. I can also see you're running the command from Windows.

We had different users complaining about some weird CLI problems with that operating system which I'm not actively supporting right now.

It shouldn't be too hard to copy that file from the repository and place it in the right directory. I know it's a workaround, but it should do the trick.
