The
creation of five new districts in the Union Territory of Ladakh is a
welcome development. This initiative promises to enhance governance and
improve service delivery to the people living in the remote areas of the
region. It is expected to lead to the overall development and
prosperity of Ladakh. The five new districts are Zanskar, Drass, Sham,
Nubra, and Changthang. The Central Government has directed the Ladakh administration
to constitute a committee to assess various aspects related to the
formation of these new districts, including determining the
headquarters, boundaries, structure, and creation of necessary posts.
The committee is expected to submit its report within three months.
Currently, Ladakh has only two districts, Leh and Kargil. With a total
area of 86,904 square kilometers and a population of 2.74 lakh as per
the 2011 census, this reorganization could pave the way for the
establishment of a legislative assembly in Ladakh, similar to that in
Puducherry, in the future
