Leh, Jun 25: A delegation from the Khaltsi constituency met with LAHDC Leh Chairman and Chief Executive Councillor Adv. Tashi Gyalson today, voicing strong support for the recent move to ensure 33% political reservation for women in the LAHDCs.
Led by Councillor Lobzang Sherab, the group included village heads, members of women’s groups Ama Tsogspa and Junu Tsogspa, and representatives from all six revenue villages of the constituency. They called the move a bold and progressive step that will bring more women into the decision-making process and provide opportunities for representation beyond regional boundaries.
The delegation also praised the Government of India and the 6th LAHDC Leh for taking this forward-thinking approach, crediting the vision and leadership of Adv. Tashi Gyalson. They acknowledged the support of BJP Ladakh leaders, saying the party has helped elevate the voices of women and others often left out of political spaces.
In his response, Adv. Tashi Gyalson thanked the delegation and urged the community to back candidates who are truly committed to serving Ladakh with integrity. He emphasized that this new opening should be used to uplift the region through sincere and dedicated leadership.
As the meeting concluded, there was a shared sense of purpose that this development could bring lasting change in the political and social landscape of Ladakh.
