Early Times Report
LEH/JAMMU, June 23: Ladakh Lieutenant Governor V K Saxena on Tuesday visited the remote high-altitude village of Stakmo in Leh district and assured residents that a water body under the Him Sarovar project would be developed soon to address the area's chronic water scarcity.
Situated at an altitude of over 13,000 feet, Stakmo has been facing acute shortages of water despite the presence of abundant glacial meltwater in the vicinity.
The lieutenant governor visited the village following representations from local residents seeking a sustainable solution to the water crisis. Interacting with villagers, Saxena assured them that a water body under Project Him Sarovar would be created at the earliest to ensure long-term water security for the settlement.
He also directed the concerned officials to explore and execute the project on priority so that the benefits reach the residents without delay. The proposed intervention is expected to help harness and store available water resources, providing a sustainable solution to the recurring scarcity faced by the village.
The Union Territory administration remains committed to addressing water challenges in remote and high-altitude habitations through sustainable and community-driven initiatives, officials said. |
