Inclusive growth is the most important part. Development should benefit all communities in Ladakh equally, not just boost tourism for outsiders. The local culture and environment must be protected.

Meetings in Delhi are fine, but we need to see action in Leh and Kargil. Winter is harsh there. What about ensuring basic amenities and healthcare reach every village before talking about big tourism projects?

As someone who visited Ladakh last year, the beauty is breathtaking but the infrastructure needs work. Better roads and reliable connectivity (both digital and transport) will help the locals and tourism immensely. A positive step.

Strategic development of Ladakh is crucial for national security as well. Glad the LG is discussing budgetary support. Hope the funds are used transparently and efficiently for the people.

While I appreciate the focus, I hope "inclusive growth" includes addressing the concerns and aspirations of the people of Ladakh regarding their identity and governance. Development should be a dialogue, not just a directive.
