Majority of the posts are located at over 16,000 feet and the highest of them is the Bana post at around 22,000 feet. Since 1984, India has lost more than 860 lives and majority of them have been due to climatic conditions and challenging terrain of the 76 km long glacier.

The Army Chiefs over the years have frequently voiced their opposition to demilitarising the area, terming it as a strategic location. *.PM Modi is scheduled to inaugurate two hydro-power projects in the Ladakh region and a 330 km Leh-Srinagar transmission line.
