President Droupadi Murmu Visits Leh for Ladakh Foundation Day Celebrations
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.

BJP MP Jamyang Tsering Namgyal underscored the significance of this occasion, highlighting that President Murmu’s visit aligns with the spirit of Ladakh’s special day.
Engaging with Troops at Siachen Base Camp
As part of her visit, President Murmu will visit the Siachen Base Camp on November 1. During this visit, she will have the opportunity to interact with the dedicated troops stationed in one of the world’s most challenging and high-altitude regions. Their service in these extreme conditions is both commendable and critical to India’s national security.
Civic Reception and Interactions with Local Communities
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.
