Ladakh LG Delegates Land-Use Approval Powers to Accelerate Development
Ladakh Lieutenant Governor Vinai Kumar Saxena has delegated land-use approval powers to the chief secretary and divisional commissioner for development projects outside municipal committees. This decentralisation allows officials to approve proposals based on land size, aiming to speed up development and promote citizen-centric governance. The lieutenant governor retains authority over land parcels above two acres. The move aligns with broader deregulation efforts to ease governance and address delays caused by the absence of notified Master and Zonal Development Plans in Ladakh.
