Leh, Aug 28: Chairman/ CEC Tashi Gyalson today held a series of meetings that focused on local development issues and commitment to development and excellence in international sports representation.
In the first meeting, a delegation from Gya village, led by former Councillor Tsering Paldan, met with Tashi Gyalson, the Hon’ble Chairman and Chief Executive Councillor (CEC) of the Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development Council (LAHDC) Leh. The group, which included several village executing members, conveyed their deep appreciation for the ongoing developmental projects in their area. Their primary request was to include the Gya Meru Nallah in the Special Development Plan (SDP), stressing the need for continued channeling work on the protection band to safeguard the village from potential flooding and erosion.

In a separate meeting, Diskit C Angmo and Tsewang Chuskit, two promising athletes from Ladakh, met with CEC Gyalson to express their gratitude for his support. The athletes recently represented Team India at the prestigious Hockey Together Camp 2024, an international ice hockey event organized by the Korean Ice Hockey Association (KIHA) and supported by the Korean Ministry of Culture, Sports, and Tourism’s Official Development Assistance (ODA) program and the Pyeongchang Legacy Foundation. The camp, held from August 8 to 15, attracted 90 Korean U15 players, 38 Learn to Play participants, and 37 coaches from 22 Member National Associations (MNAs) of the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF).
