Leh, Mar 24: The Union Territory administration of Ladakh on Monday issued a fresh set of transfer and posting orders involving several Jammu and Kashmir Administrative Service (JKAS) officers, introducing a revised arrangement aimed at addressing administrative requirements across departments.
According to official orders issued by the General Administration Department (GAD), the latest decisions partially modify an earlier directive dated February 28. The changes have been formalised through Order No. 155-LA (GAD) of 2026 and Order No. 156-LA (GAD) of 2026.
Under the revised postings, Tufail Iqbal, who was serving as Tehsildar Durbuk while also holding the additional charge of Sub-Divisional Magistrate, has been reassigned as Block Development Officer, Leh. He will simultaneously take on the additional responsibility of District Panchayat Officer, Leh.
Mohd Ismail Ganie, previously Tehsildar Diskit, has been transferred to Durbuk as Tehsildar and will also function as Sub-Divisional Magistrate for the subdivision.
Jigmet Raftan, currently Sub-Divisional Magistrate Nubra, will continue in his existing role while being entrusted with the additional charge of Tehsildar Diskit.
In another development, Akeel Sajjad, who had been serving as Block Development Officer, Leh with additional responsibility as District Panchayat Officer, has been posted as Officer on Special Duty in the office of the Chief Secretary, Union Territory of Ladakh. The earlier order appointing Dr Tundup Namgail to the same position has been withdrawn.
Separately, through Order No. 156-LA (GAD) of 2026, Amir Suhail, presently serving as Under Secretary across departments including Finance and Civil Aviation, has been assigned the additional charge of Under Secretary in the Health and Medical Education Department.
