SRINAGAR: A delegation of BJP members, led by Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development Council (LAHDC) chief, met Union home minister Amit Shah in Delhi on Saturday, seeking his intervention in strengthening the gazetted recruitment process and updating the websites of Indian embassies abroad to recognise Ladakh as a separate UT.
LAHDC chief executive councillor Tashi Gyalson mentioned that the formation of new districts of Zanskar, Drass, Kargil, Nubra, and Sham is a crucial step towards inclusive development in the UT. The delegation sought Shah’s “direct intervention to ensure that the rights and interests of local youth are protected”.
They also stressed the restoration of the budget allocations for LAHDC and the UT administration.
Tashi said that Shah has assured the Centre’s commitment to the development and welfare of Ladakh.
