The Union Minister said Ladakh, the largest Union Territory in terms of area and the second least populous in India, will witness improved connectivity to its remote villages through the approved initiatives. He said this enhancement is expected to stimulate economic activities, particularly in agriculture and tourism, contributing to the overall infrastructural development of Ladakh.
Road connectivity in Ladakh has improved during the past couple of years. Many roads have been built across high passes.
Moreover, roads are coming up near the Line of Actual Control (LAC) where Chinese troops earlier used to raise objections on any development activity on the Indian side.
