In a significant administrative move aimed at enhancing local governance and development, Home Minister Amit Shah announced on Monday that the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) will establish five new districts in the union territory of Ladakh. The decision, as detailed in Shah’s post on X (formerly Twitter), underscores a strategic effort to bring governance closer to the people and ensure that benefits reach every corner of the region.
The newly formed districts will include Zanskar, Drass, Sham, Nubra, and Changthang. This expansion is part of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision for a more developed and prosperous Ladakh.

This move is expected to enhance administrative efficiency and provide more localized governance, addressing the unique needs of each district and fostering regional development.
