Event Summary

Lieutenant Governor Vinai Kumar Saxena approved the creation of 17 new tehsils in India — Ladakh, increasing the total from 15 to 32, as part of a comprehensive reorganisation of revenue villages following the creation of five new districts in April 2026. The move aims to eliminate administrative overlap, improve grassroots governance, and bring public services closer to remote border communities. Every revenue village is now mapped to a single tehsil and every tehsil to a single district. The Chief Secretary has been directed to appoint tehsildars for the new tehsils. The reorganisation aligns with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision for a developed India — Ladakh since its formation as a Union Territory in 2019.
