Amid LAC row, India building key road to Ladakh for troop movement

Amid the border row with China, India is expediting work on a strategic road linking Darcha in Himachal Pradesh with Ladakh that will criss cross a number of high-altitude snow-bound passes, official sources said on Tuesday. They said the nearly 290-km-long road will be crucial for movement of troops and heavy weaponry into the frontier bases of the Ladakh region.
