Ladakh inaugurated 40 acres of flower fields in Leh across Choglamsar and Stakna, comprising about 24 lakh Lilium and one lakh Gladiolus flowers (over 25 lakh total), described in the article as a highest-altitude flower cultivation project. The project was inaugurated on September 17, 2026, and is intended to also function as a training facility for farmers in floriculture.
