| CEC Tsering writes a letter to PM Modi demanding separate Administrative Division for Ladakh | | 
Leh, December 13 (Scoop News)-The Chief Executive Councilor/ Chairman, LAHDC, Leh Jamyang Tsering Namgyal in a letter to Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi today demanded separate Administrative Division for Ladakh.
Chairman, LAHDC, Leh Jamyang Tsering Namgyal has written a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that various delegations from across the spectrum in Ladakh has been approaching the Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development Council, Leh urging it to take up the demand of carving out a separate Division for Ladakh comprising Leh and Kargil Districts.
The letter reads as May I catch your benevolent attention that various delegations from across the spectrum in Ladakh has been approaching the Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development Council, Leh urging it to take up the demand of carving out a separate Division for Ladakh comprising Leh and Kargil Districts.
Ladakh Autonomous Hill Dev. Council, Leh unanimously convened a special session and a resolution demanding Divisional Status for Ladakh was moved by one of the Hon’ble Member, which was unanimously passed by the August House and subsequently, LAHDC, Leh delegation call on Hon’ble Governor on 3rd December, 2018 at Raj Bhawan, Jammu and requested for carving out a separate administrative Division for Ladakh region.
Ladakh, as you are well aware, sir, occupies 69.9% geographical area of whole of the Jammu and Kashmir State. Ladakh is “historically, geographically, culturally and administratively”, Ladakh has always been a special area, which needed full attention and supports the demand of the Ladakh Autonomous Hill Dev. Council, Leh and Kargil, which have demanded separate division for Ladakh region, there is no commonality among Kashmir, Jammu and Ladakh and the region remains cut off from the State capital for more than six months during winter season.
Pertinent to mention that the demand for carving out a separate Administrative Division for Ladakh has also been felt due to the fact that constant disturbance in the Kashmir Valley since three decades has been harming the Ladakh region economically, educationally and service-wise. The Kashmir issue is restricted only in the Valley and is of no concern to the people of this region. But Kashmir centric Governments have brought more miseries than benefits to the people of this region. The fund allocations, various packages that the Central Government releases from time to time have not been distributed judiciously and equivocally. The Ladakh region, on the other hand, has to bear with the Kashmir issue and loss suffered by the Ladakh region has not been compensated and grievances of the people of Ladakh have never been addressed by the Kashmir centric Government. Most of the developments that have taken place in Ladakh has not been given by the State Government voluntarily but through the constant struggle faced by its own people and leaders.
It is understood from various quarters that valley based Political Parties and Kashmir centric leadership of J&K are trying to create hurdle in carving out a separate administrative Division for Ladakh region.
Since Government of India is presently directly looking after the affairs of the State of Jammu and Kashmir through Hon’ble Governor of J&K, we urge that our demand, which is quite genuine, for carving out a separate Administrative Division for Ladakh may very kindly be accorded.
