LEH, Nov 19: Lieutenant Governor of Ladakh, Kavinder Gupta here today launched the online service for sanctioning new domestic and commercial water connections through Ladakh eSeva platform.
The newly introduced system enables residents to apply for tap water connection and track their application status online, eliminating paperwork, avoiding repeated office visits and ensuring a smoother process.
Speaking at the launch, the LG underscored the importance of digital governance in a geographically challenging region like Ladakh, where remote settlements and extreme climatic conditions often limit physical access to government offices.

The LG appreciated the PHE Department and NIC UT Ladakh for their work in developing the service, noting that it will significantly accelerate processing timelines and enhance the ease of doing business in the region.
He instructed the PHE Department to put in place a robust and streamlined water fee collection mechanism to ensure long-term service quality and financial sustainability.
