Ladakh launches Ladakh Police’s Tourist Wing to help tourists in the UT

Lakadah recently introduced a brand new way to address tourist grievances. Ladakh Police’s Tourist Wing was just launched by the Lieutenant Governor R K Mathur, which will be dealing with issues that are faced by visiting tourists. The Union Territory is one of the most coveted tourist destinations in the country, and such a move will only ensure that more tourists are inspired to visit.
According to the Lieutenant Governor R K Mathur, the work by the Tourist Wing will be done with the help of technology. The new Tourist Wing will be able to handle rescue operations, apart from medical emergencies that are faced by the tourists coming to the Union Territory.

Members of the Tourist Wing will be trained in this area, so that they can create a flawless communication system with the tourism agencies, health department, civil administration, as well as the health department. Such a well-thought out, and planned system is aimed at helping tourism thrive in Ladakh.
Mathur said in a statement, "A balance between assisting the tourists and adherence to legal aspects will be the key element defining the successful operation of this new tourist police wing."


In other news coming from Ladakh, the administration here has now decided to do away with the inner line permit (ILP) for Indian nationals. This means that domestic tourists wanting to visit the protected areas of Ladakh, can now do so without getting an ILP.

Destinations such as Nubra Valley, Pangong Lake, Tsomoriri Lake, among others, do not require an ILP any longer. The news was published on the official handle of Ladakh Tourism, utladakhtourism on Instagram.
