He added that people of the concerned villages have expressed grave concern on the current routing of the transmission line as it touches their land, residential houses and agricultural land. Therefore, necessary measures need to be taken to resolve the issue.
The EC directed the concerned agencies to resolve the matter and directed to fix dates for a joint survey by the Tehsil Administration and concerned executing agencies.
He affirmed that the transmission line is vital for the development of the area. However, he said development should go according to the wishes of the public as Ladakh is already facing a dearth of cultivable land.
