New Delhi/Leh, Apr 5: A 33-year-old Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) officer, who was leading a patrol along the India-China LAC in Ladakh, was killed after falling into a deep gorge, officials said.
Assistant Commandant Tikam Singh Negi was killed in the line of duty in the Ladakh sector of the Line of Actual Control (LAC) on April 2.
“ITBP salutes the braveheart AC/GD Tikam Singh Negi, 24th Battalion ITBP who made the supreme sacrifice in the line of duty in Ladakh on April 2, 2023,” the force said through its official Twitter handle.
The officer was posted at this front since 2021.
A senior officer posted at the ITBP academy in Mussoorie told PTI that the soldier was an “exceptionally motivated” officer who joined the force in 2013. Negi was a good mountaineer and awarded the ‘sword of honour’ in 2014, that is given to the best cadet during training.
Negi was leading a long range patrol of his troops when he fell into the gorge while negotiating the treacherous LAC terrain in Ladakh, the officer said.
The mortal remains of the officer were consigned to flames at his home town in Uttarakhand on Tuesday.
The Northern Command of the Army also paid tributes to the officer, saying it “stands with the bereaved family in this hour of grief.”
The about 90,000 personnel strong ITBP was raised in the aftermath of the 1962 Chinese aggression and it is tasked to guard the 3,488-km-long LAC on India’s eastern flank. The force is working along with the Army at this front even as the militaries of India and China are engaged in a standoff at Ladakh from 2020.–(PTI)
SRINAGAR: The Centre has formulated a scheme worth Rs 3500 crore for the industrial development of Ladakh Union Territory. The Union Ministry of Commerce has already approved the scheme, but the cabinet committee on economic affairs (CCEA) is yet to green light it. The scheme is modelled on a similar initiative launched in Jammu & Kashmir in 2021 with a financial outlay of Rs 28400 crore.
A report by the department-related parliamentary standing committee on commerce, states that the scheme was expected to launch in 2022-23. However, due to delays, it could not be launched until now. As per the Expenditure Finance Committee (EFC) approval, the scheme will utilize Rs 2.30 crore and Rs 97.30 crore in 2022-23 and 2023-24, respectively.
The parliamentary committee has recommended that the Centre take necessary measures to make the scheme operational, including pursuing the matter with the CCEA and revising the budgetary allocation as required. Once approved, the scheme can be swiftly implemented, according to the report.
SRINAGAR: The world famous Basohli Paintings from Kathua district of the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir and the Ladakh Wood Carving of Union Territory of Ladakh have received the Geographical Indication (GI) Tag, media reports said.
A geographical indication (GI) is a sign used on product that has special geographical origin. In order to function as a GI, a sign must identify a product as originating in a given place. It provides a legal protection to the products and prevents their unauthorised use.
The process for GI Tagging of these products was started by NABARD in consultation with and support from the Department of Handicrafts and Handloom in December 2020.
The GI tags have now finally been granted to these products after a long legal process.
Out of the 33 GI tags that India got this year, these two products from UT of Jammu and Kashmir and UT of Ladakh made it to the list.
The Daily Excelsior reported that earlier GI tags were given to Kashmir handicrafts but they did not include Jammu and Ladakh. The Basohli painting of Kathua district is the first independent GI tag from the Jammu region whereas the Ladakh Wood Carving is the first handicraft of Ladakh to get a GI Tag.
SRINAGAR: In an unusual development, Ladakh is witnessing massive rise in dog bites. This led the Jammu, Kashmir Ladakh High Court to take suo moto action asking the administration to submit response within a fortnight.
A division bench comprising Chief Justice N Kotiswar Singh and Justice Sanjay Dhar noted that the registered dog bite cases in Ladakh have drastically increased from 854 in 2017 to 2229 in 2022. In January 2023 alone, dog have bitten 220 people.
The court expressed its concern that this drastic surge in the cases has not only created fear among the local population but also among the tourists visiting Ladakh. Now the street dogs are attacking wild herbivores, which is of grave concern for the local people and cattle owners.
SRINAGAR: After the widespread protests by the Leh Apex Body (LAB) and Kargil Democratic Alliance (KDA), for the Sixth Schedule like status to the UT of Ladakh and fulfillment of other long pending demands, the Union Home Ministry has sought for a revised proposal from the two bodies thus initiating a fresh dialogue.
As per media reports the development came after a 30-member delegation from LAB initially met the Lieutenant Governor B D Mishra in Leh and briefed him about the issues including four-point agenda of LAB and KDA which included Statehood for Ladakh, Constitutional safeguards under Sixth Schedule status, two Parliamentary seats for the UT (one each for Leh and Kargil) and employment opportunities for the local youth.
The two bodies have also been demanding inclusion of some of its members in the High Power Committee (HPC).
LG Mishra, as per media reports briefed the MHA in Delhi about the four point agenda of the two bodies and within 24 hours of the meeting the major breakthrough from the MHA came.
Media reports said that a high level meeting in this regard is expected to take place in the next week of April. Home Ministry might revise HPC and issue fresh agenda and incorporate names given by LAB and KDA among others to initiate stalled dialogue with the two bodies.
Pertinently,after reading down of article 370, the Leh Apex body was formed with the support of all religious, political, and social organisations. Then on the first anniversary of Article 370 abrogation Kargil decided to observe it as a black day. Subsequently after proper deliberations, the Kargil Democratic Alliance (KDA) was formed.
In August 2020, the Leh LAB and KDA held a meeting at the Grand Dragon hotel Leh and came up with agreement on the four-point common agenda.
Meanwhile, LAB has called meeting with KDA leaders shortly to draft the proposal before submission to the Union Home Ministry, media reports said.
