Ladakh becomes a union territory in 2019
In fact, after the formation of the Union Territory of Ladakh in August 2019, the focus of the Modi government is on the development here. Local people have demanded tourism promotion in Kargil from the central government. Ladakh MP Jamyang Sering Namgyal says that people still see Kargil in the light of the 1999 war, while Kargil has become a peace zone, not a war zone. There is immense tourism potential here. Rural tourism will create new employment opportunities in Leh-Ladakh and Kargil.

Efforts are being made by the central government to promote winter sports and adventure tourism here to attract the attention of the world towards Kargil.
