In a major policy shift, the Ladakh administration has introduced a new excise policy that significantly expands access to alcohol across the Union Territory. Approved by Lieutenant Governor Vinai Kumar Saxena, the new framework allows the retail sale of hard liquor, increases the number of licensed liquor outlets, and permits homestays and guest houses to serve alcohol.
A selfie taken by an injured Indian Army officer after surviving a helicopter crash in Ladakh has surfaced online, drawing attention to the dramatic escape of all three personnel onboard.
