In a conservation milestone, Shayok village in eastern Ladakh—en route to the Galwan Valley—is converting 10 hectares of unused community land into the region’s first botanical garden. The garden will focus on preserving indigenous fruits, herbs, and Ladakh’s biodiversity. The Leh Hill Council, through its Command Area Development department, has allocated ₹1 crore for civil work including land tilling and a water reservoir. Local councillor Tashi Namgyal Yakzee has funded a solar-powered water pump for irrigation.
