The Indian Army has established two of the world's highest tank repair facilities near the China border in Eastern Ladakh, where over 500 tanks and infantry combat vehicles are deployed amidst the ongoing stand-off with China.

The entire rank and file of the National Conference in the Kargil district of the union territory of Ladakh have “rebelled” against the party leadership’s decision to concede the Ladakh parliamentary constituency to the Congress for the ongoing General Elections.

In Ladakh's political arena, BJP's incumbent MP, Jamyang Tsering Namgyal, reaffirmed his allegiance to the party by extending support to candidate Tashi Gyalson, following internal disagreements.

"Today, the BJP announced a new candidate for the Ladakh parliamentary constituency, replacing the sitting MP without providing transparent and compelling justification," Namgyal said in a post on the social media platform Facebook.
