Watering the Withered Landscapes of Ladakh The parched farmlands of Ladakh have finally received a lifeline, courtesy of Lieutenant Governor V K Saxena's initiative to tap into 90 million litres of glacial water.
This is a testament to the power of community engagement and adaptive governance in one of India's most arid regions.
Mirza Hussain, the traditional village head of Chuchot, sought Saxena's intervention to address the acute water shortage plaguing his village.
