PDP demands opening of Silk route, Kailash Mansarover Yatra route

Leh, December 28, (Scoop News)- Calling for opening of the traditional routes- Silk route and Kailash Mansarover Yatra route- Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Saturday said the opening of the historical routes will restore the Ladakh region’s lost glory and will uplift the socio-economic condition of the area.
The party, in this regard, today held a massive procession, which started at Jama Masjid chowk in main market, Leh, and culminated at the historic Polo Ground.
Speaking on the occasion, the party’s District President, Leh, Tashi Gyalson, said the historic Silk route had a significant impact on the socio-economic condition of the entire Ladakh region and its reopening will not only give restore the region’s lost glory, but will also help in the overall development of the area. Similarly, the opening of the Kailash Mansarover yatra route from Changthan will considerably promote the religious tourism in the region.
He said Leh is facing the development crisis and the National Conference-led government has not been able to come up to the expectations of the people. He said it was ironical that the people have reach Srinagar for availing ration cards and demanded the facility should be made available in the Leh only.
He said Ladakh Hill Development Council (LAHDC), Leh, has miserably failed to deliver on the ground. Instead of helping to promote the region’s socio-economic condition, he said the LAHDC has been resorting to malpractices as is evident from the recent class IV recruitments.
