Road connectivity restored from Leh; to ease relief operations

UDHAMPUR :  The road connectivity of the flood affected Kashmir valley has been restored from the Leh region due to concerted efforts of the Indian Army Engineers and the Border Roads Organisation.
The connectivity will be a major boost for the ongoing relief operations being undertaken by the Army in the Kashmir Valley.    The Army is now mobilising the existing stocks in Leh to provide essential supplies to the beleaguered Kashmir valley.      The urgent requirement of food, water and medicines will be moved from the Army holdings in Ladakh while additional stocks are being inducted via Manali to provide relief to the people in the Kashmir valley.
The opening of the road to Srinagar via Leh and Manali has provided an avenue for land connectivity to the region, which remained cutoff from rest of the country for the past seven days. (AGENCIES)
