Kargil Body Requests New Division and District Status for Sankoo and Shakar Chiktan
The Jamiat ul Ulama Isna Asharia, a key socio-religious group in Kargil, has requested the Ladakh administration to create a Kargil division and grant district status to Sankoo and Shakar Chiktan. Citing population, geography, administrative accessibility, development needs, and strategic importance, the group argues that a separate division would improve governance and development. This follows Ladakh's recent restructuring into additional districts, including new areas carved from Kargil and Leh.
