Indian Home Minister Amit Shah announces formation of five new districts in Ladakh.
Indian Home Minister Amit Shah announced the creation of five new districts in the Union Territory of Ladakh, raising the total number of districts to seven. The new districts, named Zanskar, Drass, Sham, Nubra, and Changthang, are aimed at improving governance and bringing benefits to the people of Ladakh. The decision follows the Modi government's commitment to providing abundant opportunities for the people of Ladakh after the region was bifurcated from the former state of Jammu and Kashmir in August 2019.
