The Tehsil Legal Services Committee (TLSC), Zanskar, convened a crucial meeting on May 2 to address a series of public grievances related to civic infrastructure and essential services, following complaints received by the Chairman of TLSC.

Held under the aegis of TLSC, the meeting brought together Heads of Departments and representatives from key sectors to collaboratively discuss and resolve community concerns.

Present at the meeting were the In-Charge SDM, Junior Engineers from PWD, PDD, and R&B, Zonal Education Officer (ZEO), Block Development Officer (BDO), Station House Officer (SHO), and Presidents of the Zanskar Buddhist Association (ZBA) and Merchant Association, among others.
