In a significant development, the Ministry of Home Affairs has abolished the position of Adviser to the Lieutenant Governor (LG) and created the post of Chief Secretary to take its place in Ladakh. This move is exactly what the Home Ministry has implemented in Chandigarh, another Union Territory (UT).
Till now, Ladakh had been functioning with an Adviser to LG, a role typically held by an IAS officer from the AGMUT cadre. As Pawan Kotwal (IAS:1994:AGMUT) has been performing this advisory function, he will now become the first Chief Secretary of Ladakh. It marks a historic shift in the governance of the region.
