Need dedicated administration cadre for Ladakh: LG Saxena writes to MHA

Ladakh's lieutenant governor has proposed a dedicated administrative service cadre to address officer shortages in the union territory. The proposal recommends a restructuring of cadre and a separate Ladakh Subordinate Administrative Service for junior posts, with recruitment through a combination of direct recruitment and promotion. The new service aims to enhance local governance and representation, with career progression opportunities for recruits and recruitment governed by Ladakh's domicile and reservation framework.
