Ladakh LG Initiates Water Reservoirs in Kargil to Address Water Scarcity
Ladakh Lieutenant Governor Vinai Kumar Saxena laid foundation stones for two water reservoirs in Barchay and Apati, Kargil, under Project Him Sarovar. With a combined capacity of 60-70 lakh litres, these reservoirs aim to address acute water shortages affecting agriculture and rural livelihoods in Sodh tehsil. The project plans to channel glacier-fed streams to ensure reliable water supply, supporting irrigation and reducing migration. Completion is targeted by November, with local officials tasked to enhance water security and rural development.
