India Officially Names 28 Geographical Features in Ladakh on Survey Map
The Indian government, in consultation with the Ladakh administration, has formally identified and standardised 28 places and geographical features in Ladakh on the official Survey of India map. This includes peaks, passes, glaciers, valleys, rivers, lakes, and strategic locations such as Gogra and Hot Spring, which were friction points during the 2020 India-China border standoff. The move aims to ensure accurate recognition, promote public awareness, and assert territorial identity amid ongoing border disputes with China, which has assigned Mandarin names to some of these areas.
