| Gyurmet Dorjey geared to protect the beauty of Pangong lake | | Leh, April 27 (Scoop News) -To protect the sanctity and beauty of world famous Pangong lake in the wake of growing camps and restaurants on the shore of the lake, the Executive Councilor Tourism Gyurmet Dorjey convened a crucial meeting of all stakeholders at Lukung yesterday and took some important decisions. It was decided that tourist camping sites shall not be allowed to establish below the main road and the camps should maintain a minimum distance of 500-700 metres from the lake. The restaurants and camps which are not registered so far, have been directed to immediately register their establishments with the Tourism Department and rum them legally to avoid punitive consequences. The meeting further decided to take stern action against those who resort to run their establishments illegally on the bank of Pangong.
Serving of hygienic food to the visitors has been discussed as a serious matter and the meeting strongly urged the existing restaurants and camps owners to be vigilant leaving no chance for any kind of complaints.
It was also decided to press the Army to shift backward by at-least one kilometer their structure from Lukung alongwith motor boat base or shift it to a new area between Man-Merak and Chushul for which suitable land shall be provided by the Council considering the importance of nation’s security.
