In response to China's ongoing infrastructure expansion in Eastern Ladakh, the Indian Army has built a strong bridge over the Indus River. This new bridge, made by the Nyoma Sappers of the Snow Leopard Brigade, will greatly improve connectivity and make it easier for both the army and locals to reach the villages of Nyoma and Nidar.
The Indian Army's Fire and Fury Corps announced this on Tuesday with a video on the social media platform X.
