The Border Roads Organisation (BRO) connected the strategic Nimmu-Padam-Darcha road in Ladakh on Monday 2024-03-25. This 298-km road will connect Manali to Leh through Darcha and Nimmu on Kargil – Leh Highway.
The road is now the third axis apart from Manali-Leh and Srinagar-Leh, which connects Ladakh to the hinterland.
The Nimmu-Padam-Darcha road derives its strategic importance from the fact that it is not only shorter vis-a-vis the other two axes, but crosses only one pass; Shinkun La (16,558 feet) on which tunnel work is about to commence by the BRO.
