New Delhi, July 11

Ladakh MP Jamyang Tsering Namgyal on Sunday urged the delimitation commission to factor in the views of Buddhists and other minorities, who reside in the UT.

Around 3,000 Buddhists live in J&K’s Kishtwar district.

“During the recent visit of the delimitation commission to Jammu and Kashmir, the Buddhist population was unable to meet the panel members. We do hope the commission will factor in the views of the Buddhists and other minorities of J&K, and find a way to do that,” said the MP.

Namgyal thanked health workers for ensuring that Ladakh became the first UT in the country to achieve 100 per cent coverage of its eligible population, including the guest population, with the first dose of the vaccine.

He added the efforts of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and health and frontline warriors had helped Ladakh set the landmark. — TNS

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
