Ladakh Administration Announces Sankoo as Union Territory's Eighth District
The Ladakh administration, led by Lieutenant Governor Vinai Kumar Saxena, announced Sankoo as the Union Territory's eighth district, fulfilling a long-standing local demand. The decision aligns with the 'Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas' vision of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah. The move was supported by local leaders and organizations, including Anjuman-e-Sahib Zaman and political representatives from Kargil and Leh. This follows earlier administrative restructuring that created five new districts and redefined tehsils to improve governance.
