The DC Leh also visited the iconic Turtuk Wooden Bridge to assess its condition and connectivity role.
During his visit to Tyakshi, locals highlighted issues related to educational facilities, land erosion due to rising river water levels, and the condition of the Government Higher Secondary School.
DC Leh inspected the ongoing construction of the Tyakshi Bridge and emphasized the importance of its timely completion to improve regional connectivity.
The tour concluded at Thang, the last inhabited village of the Nubra Sub-Division near the border. The Numberdar and villagers shared pressing concerns, including the failure of the Jal Jeevan Mission (JJM), frequent stonefalls posing safety risks, and lack of tourism activity in the area.
