He added that this decision should be revoked and steps be taken to empower the LAHDCs of Kargil and Leh.
He further said that the order and advertisement of recruiment of Engineers for the 66 vacant posts in Ladakh should be revoked as this would create more unemployment in the region, if these posts are being filled by candidates from outside Ladakh. He also expressed surprise and resentment on distribution of vegetables on ration card basis. He asked what about the outsiders who doesn’t have ration cards or the people from the far off villages who doesn’t carry their cards with them on daily basis.
