Five road projects measuring 255 km length to come up in Ladakh giving better access to LAC

Five road projects in Ladakh with a total length of 255 km will be a boost for both military and civilians even as tensions with China continue in the region.

Work on five road projects with a total length of 255 km in Ladakh, close to the Line of Actual Control, has started and will be a boost for both the military and civil population even as tensions with China continue in the region.

Construction of the 26.6-km Hanuthang-Handanbroke-Zungpal-Turtuk road will enhance connectivity to the Shyok Valley. The Chinese have in the past objected to Indian infrastructure in Shyok, which was one one of the reasons that led to the standoff that started last May.
