This road of Umlingala Pass connects important cities of Chumar sector of Eastern Ladakh, the statement said. This will prove to be a boon for the local population as it is a direct alternative route from Leh connecting Chisumle and Demchok. This will improve their socio-economic condition and promote tourism.
