Nubra, November 8: In a move to boost connectivity and public transport facilities in remote areas, the Ladakh Administration today launched a new bus service between Diskit and Skampuk in the Nubra Sub-Division, fulfilling a long-pending demand of local residents.
The service was flagged off by Shri Tufail Iqbal, JKAS, Tehsildar Diskit, at a ceremony held at 11:00 AM, which saw enthusiastic participation from villagers of Skampuk, Partapur, Hunder, and Diskit.
