The government has allocated Rs 30,757 crore for Jammu and Kashmir, and Rs 5,958 crore for Ladakh, both of which are new Union Territories (UTs).
Following the abrogation of Article 370 on August 5, 2019, the state of Jammu and Kashmir was converted into a UT. Ladakh, whch was part of the state, was formed as a separate UT.
Jamyang Tsering Namgyal, member of Parliament (MP) for Ladakh and member of the Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP), tweeted about the funds allocated for the UT.
Continuing the path of development, Hon’ble Finance Minister @nsitharaman ji announced ₹5958 cr for our UT Ladakh. Ladakh will surely prosper under the leadership and vision of our Hon’ble Prime Minister @narendramodi Ji.— Jamyang Tsering Namgyal (@MPLadakh) February 1, 2020
