💨 Abstract

The Centre's wildlife panel has approved proposals for constructing military infrastructure in Ladakh's wildlife sanctuaries, aiming to improve ammunition access and operational deployment. The new infrastructure includes troop facilities, ammunition storage, and communication networks. Both sanctuaries, home to rare species like the snow leopard, are protected under the Wildlife Protection Act. The Defense Ministry has been instructed to minimize impact on local habitats.
