Ministry of Home Affairs on Monday ordered creation of new five districts in the Union Territory of Ladakh.
The creation of new districts in the region will take the benefits meant for the people to their doorsteps by bolstering governance in every nook and cranny.
Union Home Minister Amit Shan in a post on X (formerly twitter) informed: “In pursuit of PM Shri @narendramodi Ji’s vision to build a developed and prosperous Ladakh, the MHA has decided to create five new districts in the union territory”.
“The new districts, namely Zanskar, Drass, Sham, Nubra and Changthang, will take the benefits meant for the people to their doorsteps by bolstering governance in every nook and cranny,” Shah in a post on X said.
He added, “The Modi government is committed to creating abundant opportunities for the people of Ladakh”.
Notably Ladakh was given the status of Union Territory on August 05, 2019 when BJP led Union Government abrogated Article 370 and 35(A) and bifurcated the erstwhile state of Jammu & Kashmir into two Union Territories – Jammu & Kashmir, and Ladakh.
