Drass district is one of the five newly proposed districts in the Union Territory of Ladakh, India.[1] It is also one of the smallest districts in the country.[2]
History
In January 2024, hundreds of people from various villages in the region took part in a peaceful protest march, demanding that Drass be recognized as a district.[3]
Before the creation of these new districts, Ladakh consisted of only two districts: Leh and Kargil.[4] The establishment of Drass and the other four newly proposed districts increases the total number of districts in Ladakh to seven. This move aims to bring government services and opportunities closer to the residents of these remote areas.[4][2]
