LEH, Feb 25: Various political, social, students and religious organizations of Leh have warned to wage a united struggle if their demands were ignored by the State Administration.
An important meeting was held at LBA office under the chairmanship of LBA president Tsewang Thinles to discuss the functionalization of Division in Ladakh region.
The meeting was attended by All Ladakh Gonpa Association, Anjuman Imammia, Anjuman-moin-ul-Islam, Christian Community, Executive Councillor, LAHDC, Leh, political parties including BJP, Indian National Congress, National Conference, PDP, Chairman Sarpanch Coordination Committee, Leh, Vice President, Municipal Committee, Leh and leader of opposition, LAHDC, Leh.
The meeting called by Ladakh Buddhist Association and after much deliberation the participants unanimously passed a joint resolution for further action.
All the organisations unanimously resolved that the Divisional status to Ladakh should not undermine the functioning of the LAHDC, and to ensure the smooth functioning of the LAHDC. They proposed that CEO to LAHDC be made a post of Commissioner Secretary rank. The Divisional status should be purposeful and should be on ground and all Departments functioning in the District be given full fledged Directorate with required number of staff with preference to the local participation on top priority.
They further resolved that the posts creation for implementation of the new dispensation be done forth with otherwise, we have a bitter experience that the Government had introduced Bhoti language teachings in Government schools in the year 1969 with the promise to post creation of Bhoti teachers for all schools (which at the initial stage only 27 post created) and no fresh post was created after that during last 50 years.
It was also decided that the struggle for UT with Legislature will continue and committed to continuing our struggle for our honour and dignity for achieving the aspirations of our people. The participants expressed resentment on repeal of SRO 110 to SRO 120.
It is again pertinent to mention that declaring Leh as the headquarter of the newly created Divisional status for Ladakh was a very thoughtful and a decision of wisdom keeping in view the international historical, cultural and strategic importance of Leh city. But unfortunately the decision has been reversed under the pressure of Kargil population thereby resulting extreme humiliation and disappointment among the people of Leh District and keeping in view the international status, historical background of Leh and its centrally location, all the headquarters of the Directorates be stationed at Leh. They warned to wage a fight for their rights, if their demands were ignored.
