Emergency services

Diskit relies on regional emergency networks, supplemented by the heavy presence of the Indian Armed Forces due to the proximity of the border and the Siachen Glacier.

* **National Emergency Number:** Dial **112** for integrated police, fire, and medical emergencies. * **Police:** Diskit has a local police station that serves the town and surrounding villages in the Nubra Valley. * **Disaster Management & Rescue:** Because the town is accessed via the high-altitude Khardung La pass, weather-related road closures and avalanches are common. The Border Roads Organization (BRO) clears the roads, while the Indian Army and the Indian Air Force (IAF) conduct high-altitude search, rescue, and airlift operations.
