LG approves comprehensive reorganisation of tehsils, revenue villages in Ladakh
LEH, July 12 (PTI): In a landmark administrative reform, Ladakh Lieutenant Governor Vinai Kumar Saxena approved a comprehensive reorganisation and rationalisation of tehsils and revenue villages, following the creation of five new districts in the Union Territory, an official spokesman said on Sunday.
Under this reorganisation, 17 new tehsils have been created in Ladakh, taking the total number of tehsils to 32, from the existing 15, the spokesman said. He added that the move aims to operationalise the new districts while bringing public services to the people’s doorsteps, thereby strengthening governance at the grassroots.
He said the new tehsils have been created on the recommendations of a UT-Level Committee constituted by Saxena, following the notification of the new districts on April 27 this year.
