    [ad_1]

    SRINAGAR: Brigadier (Dr.) B D Mishra (Retired) will take oath as the new Lieutenant Governor of the Union Territory of Ladakh on Sunday, officials said.

    He will be sworn in as the second LG of the Himalayan region, at Sindhu Sanskriti Kendra, Leh. He will replace R K Mathur, who held the prestigious office since 2019 when Ladakh became the union territory.

    As per the news agency KNO, the 83-year-old Mishra is a former brigadier of the Indian Army and the former Commander of the Counter Hijack Force of the National Security Guard (NSG), popularly known as the Black Cat Commandos.

    Brig. (Dr.) B.D. Mishra (Retd.) was born on July 20, 1939, in Uttar Pradesh. He was commissioned in Infantry, the Madras Regiment, on December 17, 1961. He retired after an illustrious army career spreading over 33 years and 7 months, in the National Security Guard (NSG) on July 31, 1995. He served in all three major wars – in 1962 Sino-Indian War, the 1965 Indo-Pak War, and the 1971 Bangladesh Liberation War. He operated in the insurgency area from 1963 to 1964 and commanded an Infantry Battalion on the Line of Control in Poonch Sector from 1979-81.

    Brigadier Mishra commanded an Infantry Brigade as a part of the Indian Peace Keeping Force (IPKF) in Sri Lanka and fought against the LTTE during the most intense stage of Operation PAWAN on the Jaffna-Palali axis and, after the Jaffna battle, in Vavunia and Trincomalee, from 1987 to 1988.

    On the night of April 24 and 25, 1993, as Counter Hijack Force Commander of the National Security Guard (NSG), he led a surgical strike on an Indian Airlines hijacked aircraft at Raja Sansi Airfield, Amritsar. After the elimination of the hijacker by the commandos, 126 passengers, 9 infants and 6 crew members were safely rescued. He received a Commendation from the Prime Minister of India for this operation. After his retirement, when the Pakistani Army occupied the Kargil defences, he volunteered to join the Kargil War in 1999.

  • For Statehood, Sixth Schedule, Ladakh Leaders Protest In Delhi

    [ad_1]

    SRINAGAR: Leh Apex Body and Kargil Democratic Alliance, an amalgam of trade unions, social, political and religious groups from Ladakh held protest at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi on Wednesday.

    The protest was meant to press for their four demands including full statehood, sixth schedule under Indian Constitution, job reservation, a separate Public Service Commission for Ladakh, and two parliamentary seats for Leh and Kargil.

    “It has been four years and we cannot see any development happening in Ladakh even as we were promised development when the UT was made,” the protestors was quoted as saying by reports.

    They said government’s ignorance towards the Ladakh forced them to reach the national capital as the development and safeguards and reservation for locals they expected didn’t come so far.

    “We are concerned about our cultural identity, political representation as well as job security. LG and a few other bureaucrats can’t decide our future,” they said.

    A protester said that they are disheartened witnessing young people not being able to gets jobs.

    “The government has supposedly promised twelve thousand roles, but these are merely on paper. Over the last three years since the abrogation of Article 370 in 2019, the government has not been able to develop a plan for Ladakh,” he stated.

    On January 26, Wangchuk, the Ladakh-based engineer turned innovator had announced a five-day long hunger strike at 18,380 feet high Khardung to invite attention of the BJP-led Centre to the demands of the people of Ladakh, including extension of sixth schedule of the Constitution and environmental protection form unchecked industrial and commercial expansion.

    The Apex and Kargil Alliance objected to the composition of the High Powered Committee announced by the Ministry of Home Affairs and headed by the Minister of State for Home Affairs Nityanad Rai to discuss safeguards for the Union Territory of Ladakh. They demanded their four points to be included in the agenda of the committee.
