Read the passage and answer the following questions:
Eighteen months later, belying all doomsday predictions, the Ladakhi community in and around Leh stands on a firm footing. The beautiful landscapes complement the rough terrain, as people go about their daily chores, celebrating life with enthusiasm and characteristic hard work to rebuild a vibrant town, continuing their tradition of welcoming tourists with open arms.
The scars will take time to heal, though, and reconstruction is following a slow but steady path. As one walks down to the inner regions, remnants of the devastation become visible — large mounds of mud and rocks spread over a vast expanse of land, broken houses and remnants of cars, buses, shelters and houses — all narrating the incident of that dreadful night. If the intensity of the cloudburst was so strong, what drives the people of Leh to recover and find happiness, allowing them to carry on their lives in such a short span of time? The secret lies in the traditional lifestyle of Ladakhis that is based on the fundamental values of humanity. For them, their true duty is not only towards the Almighty but also towards mankind and that is certainly a reason why Ladakhis, known for their hospitality worldwide, succeeded in recovering from the devastating natural calamity. They have always believed in community efforts, whether it is about maintaining their natural and cultural heritage or about building new prospects.
