Leh, July 11: Ladakh has approved the creation of 17 new Tehsils, a move aimed at strengthening the governance at the grassroots level and bringing governance closer to the people.
It takes the total number of Tehsils in Ladakh now to 32, from the existing 15 Tehsils.
This rationalization ensures that every Revenue Village is mapped to a single Tehsil, and every Tehsil to a single district, eliminating administrative & jurisdiction overlap, as it existed till now.
In the new setup Leh District will have 5 Tehsils, Kargil 7, Changthang 4, Nubra 6, Zanskar 4, Sham 5, and Drass 1 Tehsil.
This robust structure will enhance public service delivery, ensure faster implementation of developmental programs, and ensure that every citizen, particularly those living in remote and border areas, has easier access to government services.
