The emphasis on 'last-mile delivery' in governance is the need of the hour. So many government schemes fail to reach the intended beneficiaries in remote areas like Ladakh. Hope the new LG can ensure this.

Respect to all civil servants on their day! Their work, especially in challenging terrains, often goes unnoticed. The VP's Sri Lanka visit also seems productive, strengthening ties with our neighbour.

While I appreciate the sentiment, I hope these meetings translate into more than just courtesy calls and social media posts. Ladakh faces real issues - from climate change impacting glaciers to tourism management. Action is needed.

The extension of OCI cards to 5th & 6th gen Tamils in Sri Lanka is a masterstroke. It shows India hasn't forgotten its diaspora. Strong cultural bonds are our real strength in foreign policy. Jai Hind!

Interesting to see the VP's packed schedule. From Ladakh's governance to international diplomacy in Sri Lanka. The 'Viksit Bharat 2047' vision is ambitious. Hope the focus on citizen-centric governance remains consistent.
