Ladakh Opens First International Artificial Ice Hockey Rink with Year-Round Facility
Ladakh inaugurated its first international-level artificial ice hockey rink at NDS Stadium, costing around Rs 42 crore.

Lt Governor Vinai Kumar Saxena described it as a landmark investment for Ladakh's youth and aligned the project with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision to develop India as a global sporting powerhouse and enhance sports infrastructure in remote areas.
