Ladakh finally gets separate identity in Aadhaar records, `J-K` tag removed

Ladakh finally gets separate identity in Aadhaar records, `J-K` tag removed

Nearly seven years after Ladakh was carved out as a separate Union Territory in 2019, residents have finally received a key administrative update in their Aadhaar records, reported the PTI. Earlier, Aadhaar cards still showed “Jammu and Kashmir” in the state field, even though Ladakh had been officially separated. This mismatch continued for a long time and remained a matter of concern for many residents. This inconsistency created confusion and difficulties for residents while using Aadhaar for identity verification and accessing various government as well as private services. In several cases, it also led to delays in documentation and verification processes, causing inconvenience in day-to-day transactions. Government intervention and coordination with UIDAI The issue was taken up by the newly appointed Ladakh Lt Governor VK Saxena, after which the Union Territory administration approached UIDAI to resolve the matter on a priority basis. Following this, a centralised correction mechanism was developed. Instead of requiring individuals to visit Aadhaar centres one by one, the update was carried out using Ladakh-specific PIN codes. These were verified in coordination …

The grandson of Nandalal Bose, who decorated the original Constitution of India with motifs and illustration, has been struck off the electoral rolls during the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) in poll-bound West Bengal.
