Domestic Tourists No Longer Need Inner Line Permits To Visit Protected Areas In Ladakh
Source: Nomadic Weekends
In a big boost for the tourism sector in the Union Territory (UT) of Ladakh, the administration has done away with the Inner Line Permit (ILP) which was needed by the Indian tourists and also for local residents to visit all the notified protected areas of the UT, reports Times of India.
Announcing the development, UT's Secretary for Tourism and Culture Mehboob Ali said that the ILP has lost its 'relevance'. The announcement was made on the sidelines of a three-day event organised by the Union Ministry for Tourism to promote Ladakh as a preferred tourism destination.
Ali shared that tourists will still need to pay an environmental fee, either online or in cash. He also added that the restrictions in visiting the border areas will also be slowly lifted other than in areas with border problems.
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
