JNS: The Central Government has announced the creation of five new districts—Zanskar, Drass, Sham, Nubra, and Changthang—in the Union Territory of Ladakh.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah shared the news on social media, stating that this decision is aligned with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision to build a developed and prosperous Ladakh. The new districts aim to improve governance by bringing services and benefits closer to the people in every corner of the region.
To facilitate this process, the Union Home Ministry has directed the Ladakh administration to establish a committee that will assess various aspects of the new districts, including their headquarters, boundaries, administrative structure, and the creation of necessary posts.
The committee has been asked to submit its report within three months. The Ministry emphasised that the creation of these districts will contribute significantly to the comprehensive development of Ladakh.
