Manali-Leh Highway Reopens for Army Vehicles

The strategically vital Manali-Leh National Highway 3 has been reopened for army vehicles after nearly five months of closure due to heavy snowfall. This development marks a crucial milestone in ensuring logistical support and connectivity for military operations in the region.

The reopening of the Manali-Leh highway comes as a relief for the Indian Army, which relies heavily on this route for troop movement, supplies, and equipment deployment to forward areas along the India-China border. The timely clearance of snow and restoration of access demonstrates the resilience and preparedness of the military in adverse weather conditions.

The Manali-Leh highway, spanning approximately 479 kilometres, serves as a lifeline for the strategic defence infrastructure in the Ladakh region, providing vital connectivity between the plains of Himachal Pradesh and the high-altitude terrain of Ladakh. Its reopening reinforces the Indian Army's operational readiness and ability to maintain vigilance in challenging terrain.

The clearance of the highway was a collaborative effort involving various agencies, including the Border Roads Organization (BRO), tasked with ensuring the smooth functioning of critical road networks in border areas. Their timely intervention and coordinated efforts have enabled the resumption of essential logistical support to troops stationed in remote and inaccessible areas.

The reopening of the Manali-Leh National Highway 3 underscores the significance of robust infrastructure in bolstering national security and defence preparedness along the India-China border. It reflects the government's commitment to enhancing connectivity and infrastructure development in strategic border regions, ensuring the safety and security of the nation.
