The Indian Air Force and the UT Ladakh Administration have completed a big project in Leh called the Parallel Taxi Track (PTT).

This project cost Rs 452 crores and was inaugurated by the Lieutenant Governor, Kavinder Gupta.

The PTT includes a new taxi track, spaces for large aircraft, and connections to help planes move around more easily.

This will make it safer and more efficient for both military and regular flights.

The project is important for national security and helps more tourists visit Ladakh.

The Air Force also helps people in Ladakh by taking them to hospitals when they are sick and running programs to support the community.
