BRO Completes Strategic Nimmu-Padam-Darcha Road in Ladakh
The Border Roads Organisation (BRO) has connected the strategic Nimmu-Padam-Darcha road in Ladakh. Spanning 298 km, this road links Manali to Leh via Darcha and Nimmu on the Kargil-Leh Highway, establishing a vital third axis for Ladakh's connectivity. The road is shorter and crosses only one pass, Shinkun La (16,558 feet), where tunnel work is set to begin, ensuring all-weather connectivity to the region. This development bolsters defense readiness and spurs economic growth in the Zanskar valley.
