Prime Minister Narendra Modi today inaugurated and dedicated to the nation five major development projects worth around three thousand three hundred 50 crore rupees in Ladakh today through video conferencing. The projects aim to strengthen connectivity, improve energy infrastructure, conserve cultural heritage and enhance water security in the region.
The newly inaugurated projects include the New Passenger Terminal Building at Kushok Bakula Rimpochee Airport, Leh, built at a cost of 640 crore rupees. The modern terminal is spread over 23,800 square metres and designed to handle 35 lakh passengers annually.
The Prime Minister also dedicated to the nation the 298-km-long Nimmu-Padum-Darcha Road, constructed by the Border Roads Organisation (BRO).

Mr Modi also inaugurated the nine-megawatt Hanu Small Hydroelectric Project and the 66 kV Double-Circuit Dah-Hanu-Khaltsi Transmission Line. The projects will strengthen power evacuation infrastructure and improve the reliability of Ladakh’s electricity network.
