Leh, Nov 18 (PTI) As the Union Territory of Ladakh is set to get cut off from the outside world due to heavy snowfall, Lieutenant Governor Brigadier (retired) B D Mishra has reviewed the winter-stocking preparedness and progress of the tendering process for helicopter services.

Mishra has also highlighted the need for necessary measures for evacuation in case of emergencies and to keep drinking water taps functional during the ensuing winter, an official spokesperson said on Saturday.

Chairing a high-level meeting virtually on Friday, the LG inquired if adequate stocking of essential commodities has been done to ensure that it lasts till the Srinagar-Leh and Manali-Leh national highways are re-opened.
