Check-point at Sarchu - Manali to Leh road (India)

The Himachal Pradesh Police officer writes down the passport numbers.­ They do that at each check-point, presumably to do statistics and to trace people's location in case of accident.­ It's easy to fall in a ravine and disappear on those roads.­ Police and Military are mostly busy with keeping the road opened and rescuing people.­ They do not shoot guns or fight enemies in this region.­
