Ladakh Administration Considers Expanding Subsidised Helicopter Service to Border Areas
The Ladakh administration has restarted a subsidised helicopter service connecting Leh with seven remote destinations to improve accessibility, especially during winter. Former LAHDC executive councillor Konchok Stanzin has requested extending this service to Nyoma and Durbuk, two strategically important sub-divisions near the India-China border. Chief Secretary Ashish Kundra responded positively, assuring that a solution will be found to include these areas, where air connectivity is vital due to difficult road conditions in winter.
