He noted that Ladakh has immense tourism potential and said one of his key priorities would be to develop the region into one of the most beautiful and sought-after tourist destinations in the country as well as globally.
The Lieutenant Governor also underlined the importance of sustainable and environmentally responsible development, observing that Ladakh’s fragile ecosystem requires careful and balanced planning. He emphasised the need to increase greenery through plantation drives and afforestation initiatives, along with the development of water bodies.
Saxena further highlighted the importance of strengthening urban infrastructure, including maintaining cleanliness and expanding sewage treatment facilities.
Reiterating his commitment to public welfare, Saxena said that, as entrusted to him by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, he would ensure that the people of Ladakh are never disappointed.
