The 11th meeting of the State Board for Wildlife was held under the chairmanship of the Lieutenant Governor of Ladakh, Brigadier (Dr) BD Mishra (Retd), at the Lieutenant Governor's Secretariat in the presence of the wildlife board members.

At the outset, the LG and the board members observed a minute's silence to pay respect to the victims of the Pahalgam terror attack.

Chief Secretary, Dr Pawan Kotwal, informed the board members about the request made by the LG to renowned wildlife expert Dr MK Ranjitsinh to help UT Administration in drafting detailed profiling of wildlife of Ladakh, a comprehensive wildlife policy for Ladakh and the guidelines on role and responsibilities of armed forces in the protection and conservation of wildlife in Ladakh, out of which Dr Ranjitsinh has already worked on detailed profiling of wildlife of Ladakh and work is underway on the other two aspects.
