Early Times Report
Jammu, Feb 19: As soon as Brigadier (Retd) B D Mishra sworn in as the second Lieutenant Governor of the Union Territory, Prime Minister Narendra Modi promised to take every step to make life easier for the resident of Ladakh.
Prime Minister promised that his government will leave no stone unturned to make life easier for the people of Ladakh.
Commenting on a tweet tagged by BJP Lok Sabha member from Ladakh Jamyang Tsering Namgyal, Prime Minister Narendra Modi replied, “We will leave no stone unturned to make life easier for the people of Ladakh”
Namgyal in his tweet said the Modi government approved Rs 1681.51 crore for the construction of the 4.1-km-long Shinkun La tunnel to be completed by 2025 to provide all-weather connectivity to Ladakh.
“The residents of Lungnak Valley of Zanskar, the most backward region of Ladakh, welcomed and thanked Modi ji for this decision,” the Lok Sabha MP from the Union Territory said.
Prime Minister’s tweet is very significant in the sense that agitating Ladakhi groups have already decided to give some time to the Union Government to seriously think over their genuine demands.
As reported earlier, after holding a protest at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi on Wednesday to highlight their demands, the agitating groups of Ladkah are now waiting for the response of the Union Government.
Instead of announcing a calendar for their ongoing agitation, these groups have decided to give some time to the BJP-led government at the Centre to open a channel of communication to discuss their demands. |
