India is set to strengthen its heritage conservation efforts with the development of the country's first Petroglyph Conservation Park at Sindhu Ghat in Leh, Ladakh. The initiative aims to protect centuries-old, and in some cases thousands-of-years-old, rock carvings that offer valuable insights into the region's prehistoric past.
The Indian Army has continued regular operations of its Cheetal helicopters in the Ladakh sector, including missions over the Siachen Glacier, even as an investigation into the May 20 crash near Leh's Tangtse area progresses. According to officials, the probe is focusing on a suspected material failure in the helicopter's transmission system.
