NEW DELHI, AUG 26 : Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Monday informed that the ministry has decided to create five new districts in the Union Territory of Ladakh.

The new districts are Zanskar, Drass, Sham, Nubra and Changthang.

In a statement posted on X, Shah said that the creation of new districts will take the benefits meant for the people to their doorsteps by bolstering governance in every nook and cranny.

“In pursuit of PM Shri @narendramodi Ji’s vision to build a developed and prosperous Ladakh, the MHA has decided to create five new districts in the union territory,” he wrote on X.

“The Modi government is committed to creating abundant opportunities for the people of Ladakh,” Shah added.

Ladakh currently has two districts namely Leh and Kargil.

Ladakh was made a UT after the erstwhile state of Jammu and Kashmir was bifurcated into two UTs on August 5, 2019. On that day five years ago, the Article 370, which gave special status to the erstwhile state, was also abrogated.
