Ladakh Administration Forms Committee to Operationalise Five New Districts

The Ladakh administration has formed a Union Territory-level committee to facilitate the operationalisation of five newly created districts: Changthang, Nubra, Sham, Zanskar, and Drass. Approved by Lieutenant Governor Vinai Kumar Saxena in April, the committee will address administrative, financial, and logistical issues, oversee the reorganisation of subdivisions and local jurisdictions, and aim to decentralise governance to improve service delivery in remote areas of Ladakh.
