Prime Minister Narendra Modi stated on Sunday (February 19) that his government will leave no stone unturned in order to make life easy for the people of Ladakh.

He made the remark while tagging a tweet by Ladakh MP Jamyang Tsering Namgyal, who stated that the Modi government sanctioned 1681.51 crore for the construction of the 4.1-kilometer-long Shinkun La tunnel, which is expected to be finished by 2025 and will give all-weather connection to Ladakh.

"The residents of Lungnak Valley of Zanskar, Ladakh's most backward region, welcomed and thanked Modi ji for this decision," the Union Territory Lok Sabha Member remarked.

Modi, who tagged his tweet, wrote in Hindi, "We will leave no stone unturned to make life easier for the people of Ladakh."

PM lauds Efforts For Preserving Sparrows: 

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has praised Rajya Sabha MP Brij Lal for his efforts in preserving the sparrows at his residence.

In response to a tweet from a Rajya Sabha MP, the Prime Minister wrote:

बहुत खूब! आपका यह प्रयास हर किसी को प्रेरित करेगा। https://t.co/k2ZbOrtcod

The house sparrow is not only one of the most prevalent bird species in cities but also one of the most beloved. It's a little brown bird, about the size of a tennis ball, with black streaks down its back. The male and female are easily distinguished by colour rather than size. The male has a dark brown body with a black bib, grey chest, and white cheeks, but the female has a light brown body with no black bib, crown, or white cheeks. It is a gregarious species that communicates by chirping and chattering in groups of eight to ten.

True to its love for urban areas, the house sparrow has been observed nesting in buildings, either in fissures and holes in walls or, at best, in birdhouses and nest boxes placed by humans in their gardens. It primarily eats on seeds, although during the breeding season, adults feed insects to their young.
