The Governor and the Government have taken note of the sentiments of the people of Kargil, following the decision to create a new Administrative / Revenue Division of Ladakh. The creation of the division has been a long-standing need of the people of Ladakh.
The spokesman said that Ladakh has two districts, Kargil and Leh, and the Government is equally sensitive to the needs and aspirations of both districts. It is also aware of the administrative needs of the region and the connectivity challenges.
It is with this in mind that the Government decision also included the formation of a Committee of very senior officers of the state to determine the location and scope and size of Division level offices, their staffing, size and most importantly, their location in the division.
This Committee will submit it reports only after interacting with all stakeholders and understanding their needs. It will submit this in a very short time.
The Government urges all parties to be patient. Everyone’s interest will be taken care of as that is the objective of the Government.
