Kargil, February 21 (Scoop News)-Executive Councilor, RDD/PR, Forest, FCS&CA, Cooperative, and ZDA, Er. Punchok Tashi today chaired a meeting at Conference Hall, LAHDC Kargil on the promotion of winter sports activities.
The meeting was aimed to review and strategize the promotion of winter sports activities in the region, specifically through the Zanskar and Drass Winter Sports Academy, along with the proposed installation of a chair lift.
The meeting was attended by Joint Director, Youth Services and Sports, UT Ladakh, Tahir Hussain Zubdavi; Councillor Bhimbat, Abdul Wahid; Councillor Cha, Stanzin Lakpa; Executive Engineer R&B, Sadiq Ali and DYSSO Leh/Kargil. Representatives from local stakeholders of winter sports promoters were also present, marking the first-ever such gathering with the involvement of local stakeholders.
During the meeting, participants discussed the need for a Sports Academy in Ladakh to facilitate training and further the development of winter sports in the region.
Several key suggestions were proposed, including the formation of a committee comprising local sports promoters, ex-Army servicemen with national and international winter sports experience, and other relevant stakeholders from Leh and Kargil.
EC Tashi emphasized the importance of swift action on these initiatives. He directed the Joint Director, of Youth Services and Sports, to establish the committee to assess local winter sports sites through a physical visit, conduct a slope reiki, and submit a detailed feasibility report. This process will enable informed decision-making for developing winter sports infrastructure in the region.
