Srinagar, 31 Aug 2021. Fire and Fury Corps of Indian Army is committed to partnering the
People of Ladakh in development of border areas. Employing its Engineer resources, the
Army constructed a 30 Km track, on the Ladakh Range, at an altitude of 18600 feet in
Ladakh region. The track will serve as an alternative to the road across Chang La and will
enhance defence preparedness in Eastern Ladakh while connecting isolated villages to
Leh.
This track was planned and constructed by the Engineer Regiments of Fire and Fury
Corps and follows a shorter alignment, than the existing road to Tangtse, which traverses
the formidable Chang La and will result in considerable reduction in travel time across the
Ladakh range. The new track was inaugurated by Shri Jamyang Tsering Namgyal, MP of
Ladakh (UT) in the presence of Lt Gen PGK Menon, GOC, Fire and Fury Corps and local
citizens on 31 Aug 21.
