Delegation of CPL mazdoors of 3 DOU (Ordinance) calls on Hon’ble Lt Governor Brig (Dr) BD Mishra (Retd).

Leh, March 10, 2025: A delegation of CPL Mazdoors of 3 DOU (Ordinance) led by Vilayat Ali called on the Hon’ble Lieutenant Governor of Ladakh, Brigadier (Dr) BD Mishra (Retd) at Lt Governor’s Secretariat to request HLG’s intervention in the allotment of land to establish a housing colony for their community.
The delegation informed the HLG that CPL Mazdoors seek parity in recognition and support to other defence-related entities, such as the Army and Paramilitary forces. However, despite their long-standing contributions and diligent service, their formal application for land allotment remains unresolved. They requested HLG to prioritise their request and grant the land to establish the Housing Colony.
HLG informed them that no land had been allotted to any groups for the establishment of the colony, except for the Veer Naris. HLG also stated that they will be included if any such land allotment policy is made in future.
Chief Secretary UT Ladakh, Dr. Pawan Kotwal, IAS; Deputy Commissioner Leh, Santosh Sukhadave, IAS and the delegation were present during the meeting.
