Ladakh LG Rejects Protected Area Boundaries Report, Orders Local Claims Settlement
Ladakh's Lieutenant Governor Vinai Kumar Saxena rejected a sub-committee report on the boundaries of three protected wildlife areas, citing legal and mapping discrepancies. The report included longstanding local settlements within protected zones without following the statutory process under the Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972. The State Board for Wildlife directed officials to resume public hearings and resolve local claims within two months to ensure clarity and recognition of traditional rights while addressing national security concerns.
