New Delhi: The government has created five new districts in the Union Territory of Ladakh, Union Minister Amit Shah announced on Monday. The new districts are Zanskar, Drass, Sham, Nubra and Changthang.
The Modi government is committed to creating abundant opportunities for the people of Ladakh,” Shah said. “The new districts, namely Zanskar, Drass, Sham, Nubra and Changthang, will take the benefits meant for the people to their doorsteps by bolstering governance in every nook and cranny.”
Notably, Ladakh was given a Union Territory status after the Centre revoked Article 370, which gave special status to the erstwhile state of Jammu and Kashmir and bifurcated it into two UTs in 2019. Being a UT, Ladakh comes under the direct administrative control of the Home Ministry.
“The creation of five new districts in Ladakh is a step towards better governance and prosperity. Zanskar, Drass, Sham, Nubra, and Changthang will now receive more focused attention, bringing services and opportunities even closer to the people. Congratulations to the people there,” wrote Prime Minister Narendra Modi on X.
