Harender Kumar, ADG of BRO, today reviewed the construction of the Darcha-Padum-Nimu road via Shinkula in Lahaul and Spiti.
The BRO is constructing a road between Darcha in Lahaul and Spiti and Nimu in Ladakh via Shinkula, to connect the Kargil-Leh road.
After the inauguration of the Atal Tunnel, Lahaul has become accessible round the year. But to reach in Leh via the Darcha-Padum-Nimu road, the Shinkula is a major hurdle during the winter because the area receives heavy snowfall. — TNS
