The strategic airbase located on the banks of the Shyok river has been upgraded for day and night operations. The Galwan river which saw a violent faceoff between India and China and death of several soldiers from both sides, also merges into the Shyok River which flows from Eastern Ladakh to Western Ladakh before crossing over into Pakistan.
