As tourism in Ladakh continues to grow, the Ladakh Police have intensified their road safety campaigns to address the increase in road traffic. The region’s high-altitude roads, including the famous Leh-Manali Highway and Zanskar Valley roads, pose significant challenges due to sharp turns, extreme weather, and poor road conditions in certain areas. In response, the police have been conducting regular road safety campaigns to educate both locals and tourists about the importance of adhering to traffic rules.
Ladakh Police have introduced several measures, such as setting up road safety checkpoints, increasing patrolling during peak tourist seasons, and conducting awareness sessions at hotels and tourist hubs. They have also collaborated with local authorities to improve road signage, install speed bumps in vulnerable areas, and ensure that emergency medical services are readily available. Additionally, Ladakh Police are using social media platforms to share road safety tips, particularly for tourists unfamiliar with the challenging terrain and weather conditions of the region.
