Home Minister Amit Shah Announced Formation of Five New Districts in Ladakh
In a significant move to bolster governance and enhance public service delivery in Ladakh, Union Home Minister Amit Shah announced the creation of five new districts in the Union Territory on Monday. The newly-formed districts—Zanskar, Drass, Sham, Nubra, and Changthang—mark a historic expansion of Ladakh's administrative boundaries, which previously consisted of just two districts: Leh and Kargil.
The decision aligns with Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi’s vision of fostering a developed and prosperous Ladakh. Speaking about the announcement, Amit Shah highlighted that the creation of these new districts would bring government services closer to the people, ensuring that the benefits meant for the residents reach every corner of the region.
The establishment of Zanskar, Drass, Sham, Nubra, and Changthang as separate districts is expected to significantly enhance governance in Ladakh by decentralizing administrative functions and improving the accessibility of public services. This move is part of the Modi government's ongoing commitment to creating abundant opportunities and facilitating inclusive development for the people of Ladakh.
With this announcement, the government reaffirms its dedication to addressing the unique needs of the region and ensuring that the people of Ladakh receive the attention and resources they deserve.
