Border Roads Organisation connects Nimmu-Padam-Darcha Road March 25, 2024: After Srinagar-Leh and Manali-Leh highways, Border Roads Organisation (BRO) has provided Leh Ladakh with third option to connect landlocked Leh Ladakh with outer world with its newly connected road -- the Nimmu-Padum-Darcha (NPD) road. The BRO achieved breakthrough in this road today. The NPD road connects Nimmu, 30km from Leh on the Leh-Kargil-Srinagar highway with Himachal's Darcha, 100km from Manali on the Manali-Leh national highway. The work on this strategically important road, which is more beneficial for people of remote Zanskar valley of Ladakh, had started many years back. From Darcha in Lahaul valley of Himachal, the road takes a diversion from the Leh-Manali highway, and passes through Shinkula pass (Shingo La), and enters the Zanskar valley. Check the Status of the Manali - Darcha - Shinkula - Padum Road Status Darcha was first connected by Padum, headquarters of Zanskar valley. The work to connect Zanskar valley with Leh was undergoing on war footings for years but the formation cutting of the road along the Zanskar river was extremely dangerous and challenging which even claimed lives of brave BRO workers and officers. This new road will soon be opened to general traffic movement. The blacktopping of the road will also start soon. Tourists visiting Leh ladakh will now have an alternative option to explore the scenic road. The true measure of a nation’s progress is not just its highways in cities but also the connectivity it provides to its remotest corners. As the nation was celebrating the festival of colours, Holi, the intrepid personnel of BRO were tirelessly cutting through vertical rock face connecting the final stretch of Niraq gorge in subzero temperature. March 25, 2024 marked the culmination of many years of hard work, toil, dedication and perseverance by BRO
