Space Tourism has now come to stay.

Tawang has heightened military activities in the recent months and years. Accordingly, media person influx as well as tourism has assumed more interest.

There is strong apprehension of it grabbing another headlines soon with even moderate tremors striking the region.

India under Modi Govt has taken recourse to Atmnirbhar plans in which Vande Bharat surely has a bright future. It serves the imaginations of the people, reduces travel time by half, cuts the import cost, boosts the Indian economy and takes the nation to a new age.
