23 heritage sites in Ladakh declared protected monuments
Ladakh's Lieutenant Governor Vinai Kumar Saxena declared twenty-three heritage sites protected monuments. This initiative provides legal protection for Ladakh's rich archaeological and historical heritage. Sites in Leh and Kargil districts were notified as protected monuments under a specific act. The administration will now undertake conservation measures and prevent encroachments on these sites.
