Jammu, June 27 -- The Union territory of Ladakh is all set for a massive transformation in the power sector, with completion of three major power transmission projects, connecting strategically significant areas like Zanskar, Nubra and Siachen base camp, by September-end this year.

These projects, being implemented under the Prime Minister's Development Package (PMDP), will ensure uninterrupted power supply to Zanskar and Nubra up to Siachen Base Camp, reducing the dependence on diesel generators for electricity, and contributing to the Prime Minister's vision of carbon-neutral Ladakh, said an official spokesperson.

With this achievement, six out of the seven districts in Ladakh, barring Changthang, will be connected to power grid.
