Ladakh region has woken up this morning with an accomplishment - cherishing the long pending dream of Divisional Status.

While exercising powers conferred in Section 5 of Land Revenue Act, the State Government of Jammu and Kashmir issued a notification of creation of Ladakh as 3rd Division in the state.

The notification has come just after the PM Mr Narendra Modi visit to Leh on 3rd February. While greeting the audience he said in local language that he brought so many gifts for Ladakhis. However, for technical reasons the notification came on Friday evening.

Divisional status would facilitate this region in a great way to progress.  Routine administrative clearances for Leh and Kargil can be obtained at Divisional headquarters in Leh.

Apart from that, new Division also brings opportunities of



employment of different levels in various departments for the locals.

For almost three decades, Ladakh region is demanding for Union Territory status with Legislation.

Vastly spread Ladakh has two Hill Councils in Leh and Kargil for their Administration. The Divisional Status is considered as a step ahead towards the dream of Union Territory.

The Hill Councils are recently empowered with financial and Administrative powers with an  amendment in the Act. New status would further empower the Administration.

While talking to Doordarshan on Friday evening, Jammu and Kashmir Governor Satya Pal Malik said that in the new Ladakh Division both Leh and Kargil districts will get equal benefits. Offices and the opportunities will be distributed to both the districts.
