There is an atmosphere of happiness and enthusiasm in Ladakh, due to the realization of the dream of a Union Territory (UT). Tourism dependent Ladakh is celebrating festival every day since August 5. Ladakh hopes that rapid development will lead to rejuvenation of Ladakh. Kargil district along with Leh is also happy to become Union Territory.
In the event of construction of Zojila Tunnel soon, tourism will transform Ladakh throughout the year. Strengthening the road, electricity, education, health infrastructure will become possible. Sewang Chostar, a resident of Janskar, says that Ladakh was left behind as the first focus was on tourism in Kashmir. A phase of change has begun in the new Ladakh. The influence of Kashmir-centric regional parties in Kargil is beginning to wane. In such a situation, some leaders of the National Conference and activists are also expected to join the BJP after joining the BJP along with the office bearers of the PDP's district unit under the leadership of Legislative Council Chairman Haji Inayat Ali.
People who want the development of Kargil are happy that now the Center will take their development decisions. This will be able to remove the old problems. Every Ladakhi hopes for a better future, Jamiang Tsering Nangyal, BJP MP, says that for the first time, Ladakhis feel that someone is working for their betterment by heart. The Modi government first made Ladakh a separate division. Now the demand for union territory has been fulfilled. After 70 percent of the area of Jammu and Kashmir was in Ladakh, Kashmir-centric governments used to ignore it. Ladakh lagged behind with his politics being concentrated only to Kashmir and Jammu.People who want the development of Kargil are happy that now the Center will take their development decisions.

In order to weaken Ladakh in the process of forming the government, the assembly seats in the region were limited to four. The army will become more powerful in Ladakh, the force will be more powerful in Ladakh to deal with the nefarious countries like China, Pakistan. Rapid action will be possible to meet the needs of army, security forces in the state directly governed by the Center. Earlier, Kashmir-centric governments intervened in issues related to military, security forces.
The army is facing the enemy in a challenging situation in Ladakh. Army troops are standing in front of Pak in Siachen under inaccessible conditions in Siachen, Leh. Twenty years ago, the Indian Army is now under full vigil after defeating the Pak Army in Kargil of Ladakh. The dream realized by the solidarity of Ladakh, due to the solidarity of Ladakh, the old dream of the region has been realized.
Leh district did not approve of the repressive policies of the Kashmir-centric government. In such a situation, after the formation of Autonomous Hill Development Council, Leh decided to wave the tricolor and took the flag of the Jammu and Kashmir government. In most areas of Kargil along with Leh district, no voice of protest ever emerged for the demand of Union Territory. Leaders of all political parties saw the interests of Ladakh first and the political agenda later. This was the reason that many times PDP, National Conference had to expel Ladakhi leaders, activists working against the party agenda.
After the decision of UT, the performance of some people in Kargil is also a mere show. The Ladakh Buddhist Association has raised the demand for Union Territory for forty-four years, being elevated for the last forty years. In the year 2002, Ladakh Union Territory Front was formed. In 2010, the Front decided to join the BJP after the BJP got support for this demand. After joining the BJP in 2014, as a Member of Parliament, Thupstan Chiwang kept pressing on the party for UT.
In such a situation, when he did not see this demand fulfilled in the first term of NDA, he resigned from the post of MP in protest. Despite much efforts, he was not ready to become BJP candidate in 2019. Very happy with the central government's decision to make Ladakh a union territory, Chiwang says that the BJP fulfilled its promise and fulfilled its seventy-year-old demand. The people of Ladakh are responsible for this victory. He led the campaign to a decisive phase in solidarity.
