Union Housing and Urban Affairs Ministry has sought a detailed proposal from the local administration to execute various development projects in Leh and Kargil regions.
An official said the ministry is also contemplating to include these two regions under its 'Smart City Mission', a flagship programme of the Modi government.
The move comes almost a month after the Centre abrogated provisions of Article 370 that gave special status to Jammu and Kashmir and bifurcated the state into union territories -- Jammu and Kashmir, and Ladakh, which will come into existence on October 31.
"We have asked the local administration to submit a detailed proposal to execute various projects for the development of Leh and Kargil.
"Once the proposal is submitted, we will examine it and release funds for the same," the official told PTI.
Asked whether Leh and Kargil will be included in the 'Smart City Mission', he said, "We are contemplating it."
