LEH, Oct 25: The Lieutenant Governor of Ladakh, Kavinder Gupta, today announced that the recruitment process for Sub-Inspectors will begin soon to further strengthen the force.
This was stated by the LG while inspecting the first-ever passing out parade of Ladakh Police at the Police Training Centre, Stong-Sar, in Leh.
He also took salute of the marching contingents during the March past/Rashtriya salute and felicitated the All-Round Best Recruit Constables of Ladakh Police, namely R/Ct Sonam Yangchan (all round best & indoor best), R/Ct Jigmet Palkit (outdoor best) and R/Ct Mohd Sharif (best marks men).
Speaking on the occasion, the LG said that the day symbolises the growing strength, discipline and self-reliance of Ladakh Police.
He noted that since the formation of the Union Territory, Ladakh Police has faced numerous challenges, from modernising basic infrastructure to building a self-sufficient training ecosystem and ensuring security across strategically significant areas.
“It was through these challenges that the resilience and determination of Ladakh Police were forged,” he said.
Reiterating the administration’s commitment to youth empowerment, Kavinder also announced that 453 recruits, including 209 women constables, have successfully completed their training, a landmark achievement that reflects the Government’s efforts to create more employment opportunities for Ladakhi youth.
The LG said, “The establishment of the Police Training Centre at Stong-Sar, which began in 2022, represents a new era of training self-reliance for Ladakh. This institution will not only train new police personnel locally to meet Ladakh’s unique challenges but will also serve the training needs of other UT departments in the future.”
Kavinder Gupta extended heartfelt congratulations to all passing-out constables and their families, expressing confidence that they will continue to bring pride to Ladakh Police and the Union Territory.
Earlier, Dr S.D Singh Jamwal, DGP Ladakh, shared his happiness over the conduct of the first Passing Out Parade of newly recruited constables of Ladakh Police at Stongsar in Leh, calling it one of the highest training centers in the country.
Altaf Shah, Principal, PTC Stongsar, was also present during the event.
