President Droupadi Murmu embarked on a significant two-day visit to Leh, the Union Territory, where she will participate in the Foundation Day celebrations of Ladakh. Her visit holds special importance, as Ladakh marks its Foundation Day on October 31, commemorating its establishment as a Union Territory of India on October 31, 2019.

Engaging with Troops at Siachen Base Camp

On the same day, a civic reception will be held in President Murmu’s honor at Leh, where she will be warmly welcomed by the local community. Additionally, the President is scheduled to engage with members of Self-Help Groups (SHGs) and the local tribal population. These interactions highlight the commitment to empowering local communities and recognizing their vital role in the region’s development.

President Droupadi Murmu’s visit to Ladakh not only marks the celebration of its Foundation Day but also underscores the Union’s commitment to the welfare and development of this strategically important region.
