Keeping in view the strategic importance of the cold desert region, all the units of the Ladakh Police in Leh and Kargil districts have been connected with POLNET for better communication while as survey is being conducted for strengthening of wireless network. Moreover, possibility is being explored for Ham Radio mediums as options of communication during any emergency situation.
Ladakh Police was facing acute communication challenges owing to the mountainous terrain, which prevents the line of sight, and accordingly the issue was discussed in numerous meetings chaired by Advisor Umang Narula, who is also Administrative Secretary of the Home Department of the Union Territory.
Few months back it was decided that POLNET, which is a satellite based wide area network for the modernization of Police Telecommunication, would be used for better communication among the police units of the Ladakh Police.
