R.K Mathur, Lieutenant Governor of Ladakh chaired an introductory meeting with the district officers on October 31 at DC office conference hall.

R.K Mathur stressed on the conventional role of DC/CEO LAHDC to be further strengthened due to the coming off more decision making powers in the new Union Territory of Ladakh.

He directed officers to be more dedicated in contributing to the development of Ladakh with new challenges, responsibilities, initiatives, and programmes.

He encouraged the officers to work on sustainable solutions to the problems considering its implementation possibilities and the socio-economic need of the general public.

R.K Mathur advised the officers to play a significant role in inefficient utilization of funds and asked to ensure reaching out to the solutions with public participation through fair distribution of money.

He strongly insists upon the officers to share real-time information and updated data with the general public to win their trust and develop a sense of confidence in the administration and its ability to give solutions to their problems.
