Ladakh: The Border Roads Organisation (BRO) has made a pathbreaking breakthrough in opening the Nimu- Padam-Darcha (NPD) Road. This 298 Km road connects Manali to Leh through Darcha and Nimmu on the Kargil -Leh Highway. In this livestream replug our travel along the NPD Road and highlight its significance. We document India's infrastructural push in Eastern Ladakh to deal with Beijing's aggression in the border dispute along the China-occupied Tibet border or the LAC.
Alternate axes are significant in also dealing with the Pakistani second front in Siachen and from POJK. The route provides critical connectivity for defence logistics to and for civilian development around the Northern China-occupied Tibet border or Line of Actual Control (LAC), the Line of Control (LoC), and the Actual Ground Position Line (AGPL) in Siachen with Pakistan.
It is shielded from both the India-China border and the frontier with Pakistan, unlike the other two axes. A StratNews Global team of Amitabh P. Revi, Rohit Pandita, and Karan Marwaha travels along the road, during the fourth winter of India's forward deployment post Xi Jinping's aggression that led to the deadly Galwan clashes in 2020
In 'The Himalayan Frontier, Part III, we travel from Manali, through the Atal Tunnel under the Rohtang Pass and drive on the Nimu-Padam- Darcha (NPD) road to Leh. In the next episode, we complete our journey to Leh on the strategic third, alternate axis to Leh. In the third episode, we speak exclusively to Lt Gen Raghu Srinivasan, the Director General, BRO at Chiling on the frozen Zanskar River. This is the exact point that the NPD connectivity has been made.
Editor's Note: This series first aired in January and February 2024.

Those who say that Chinese infra in Tibet is way better than ours need to understand the difference in topography between two sides. The quality of roads on More plains demonstrates the kind of infra that GREF can build if it has to build on a plateau.

Excellent presentation. Extraordinary piece of work of both the documentary team and the BRO personnel. Lt. Gen. Raghu appears to be an intellectual with great gusto and drive to accomplish what the country needs at the earliest .Another proof of the government's knack of finding and finding the best man for the job like minister Ashwini Vaishnav for Railways, Nitin Gadkari for National highways etc. BHARAT MATA KI JAI

To combat China India should have strategic road development. My salute to BRO for their yearlong dedicated support to the people of J&K, Himachal and Uttarakhand. I love my country

Excellent coverage. Only one suggestion for future improvement, when a speaker is explaining on the ground by indicating various routes or cliffs etc the cameraman should swing the cam in that direction. The commentry can go on in the background, and viewers can see things that are being explained. Here, the intelligence of cameraman comes into play.

@Ladakh15 the NPD is open to all of us. And is being travelled on. In the words of the chief engineer Col Vikas Gulia, “So many you tubers are commuting already. Last year we carried out rescue for even foreigners. We dont let civilians travel towards uncut stretch to avoid any injury/casualities.” now the npd road is cut from niraq to chiling. it will be a shorter route for all of us. give them some time. it will be a black top road too soon. and when the shinkun la tunnel is built by 2026, we will do another documentary🙂

I didn't realise this was a repeat posting until mid way through the video. But thanx anyways Amitabh. I hope you can make a video on the fourth axis into Kargil from Jammu. BRO has already completed surveys on that one. I am talking about the Jammu - Ramban - Shudh Mahadev - Doda - Kishtwar - Padum - Chilling - Nimmu axis. I am also tempted to talk about two other road axes from Jammu/ Pathankot into Kishtwar. But that probably is for another day. That said, I still wonder why these much needed road alignments are not clubbed together with parallel railway line projects ( wherever feasible ) ? Am I missing something ?

The strategic military value of these large investments is lost to me...given swarming AI drone technologies there will be no point in deploying brigades of human soldiers. It will be more efficient to spend this money on AI swarms of armed autonomous drones that can be deployed ubiquitously in Aksai chin. All this tax payer investment has to be recouped by getting more tourists to drive these highways by paying national park entrance fees and tunnel tolls. It will be even more valuable after BJP fulfills it's promise of bringing back POK. These are some world class vistas and scenic drives. Hopefully we can all one day drive from India to western China and Tibet through the Karakoram Pass.

BRO is incompetent. All they do is blast riverside valleys and apply a thin layer of tar. They need to study how to build roads in Himalayas from chinese.

@@myjourney6510 Mind your language first. I've been a consultant on many road projects in Ladakh and HP for the last 12 years. BRO doesn't know how to build roads in the Himalayas. Neither does NHAI. It's a shitshow. The new DSDBO road is a maintenance nightmare. Heck, there is no alternative route to Kinnaur and Lower Spiti since independence. BRO couldn't solve the infamous Mulling nalla till date. BRO roads don't have proper drainage, netting and arrestors. BRO just widened age old mule tracks and tarred them. This incompetent institution is the biggest enemy of Indian army in the Himalayas.
