The cost of the 135 kilometer long highway is said to be around Rs 400 crore. It will also be ready in the coming two years. It has been prepared on the basis of parameters of single lane national highway. This new road will run along the Indus River and will be built very close to the India-China border in Leh. The 135 km long road will reduce the distance between Chushul south of Pangong and Demchok in eastern Ladakh.

In fact, Chushul is the same area where the Battle of Rezang La was fought in 1962. On the other hand, if we talk about Demchok, it has also been a witness to the skirmishes between India and China. The planning is also that with the help of this new road, the equipment and crew of the Indian Army can be transported as soon as possible. Apart from this, converting this area into a circuit will help in developing tourism here.
