- The construction of the 255-km long Darbuk-Shyokh-Daulat Beg Oldie (DS-DBO) all-weather road is said to be the immediate reason behind the standoff between Indian Army and a Chinese Army.
- Built by the Border Road Organization (BRO) under the Ministry of Defence, the road runs almost parallel to the Line of Actual Control (LAC) and connects Leh to DBO.
- DBO is the northernmost corner of Indian territory in Ladakh.
- It has the world’s highest airstrip, originally built during the 1962 war.
- In 2008, the Indian Air Force (IAF) revived it as one of its many Advanced Landing Grounds (ALGs) along the LAC.
