The Executive Councilor Agriculture, Tsering Wangdus was also present on the occasion. While speaking, Dr Dawa said that such festivals hold the importance of our identity and traditions and therefore each and every Ladakhis must contribute to safeguard those values with the guidance from our elderlies. CEC said that LAHDC is in active process of formulating a comprehensive planning to promote winter festivals of Ladakh that would not only help to preserve the vanishing culture but would also help to promote winter tourism in the region. As a token of gift on behalf of Council, CEC announced Rs 50,000 to Lukhil Gonyul Thundel Tsogspa for further promotion of Losar festival and other important traditions. The Executive Councilor Tsering Wangdus appealed the people of other villages to revive important chapters of Losar if they had somehow discarded Losar celebration. The Head Lama of Likir Gonpa Rev.
