A video of a group of tourists driving an SUV through Ladkah's Pangong lake has created a huge stir on the internet, demanding strict actions against the 'reckless' individuals.

The video was first shared by a Twitter user named Jigmat Ladakhi, expressing his dismay. The Twitter user wrote, "Such irresponsible tourists are killing Ladakh".

He said that Ladakh has more than 350 birds species and lakes like Pangong are home to many birds species. "Such actions may have risked the habitat of many bird species," he added.
