We report the observations of the solar chromosphere from a newlycommissioned solar telescope at the incursion site near Pangong Tso lake inMerak (Leh/Ladakh). This new H$_{\alpha}$ telescope at the Merak site isidentical to the Kodaikanal H$_{\alpha}$ telescope. The telescope is installedin the month of August, 2017 at the Merak site. A 20-cm doublet lens withadditional re-imaging optics makes the telescope. A Lyot filter with0.5~\AA~passband isolates the Balmer line of the hydrogen spectra to make theobservations of the solar chromosphere. The observations made in H$_{\alpha}$wavelength delineates the magnetic field directions at the sunspot and thequiet regions. A CCD detector records the images of the chromosphere with apixel resolution of 0.27$^{\prime\prime}$ and covers 9.2$^{\prime}$field-of-view. This telescope has a good guiding system that keeps the FOV inthe intended position. We report the development of control software for tuningthe filter unit, control detector system, observations, and calibration of thedata to make it useful for the scientific community. Some preliminary resultsobtained from the Merak H$_{\alpha}$ telescope are also presented. This highaltitude facility is a timely addition to regularly available H$_{\alpha}$images around the globe.
