Ladakh secures distinct Aadhaar identity, UIDAI removes J&K tag

What Happened

Ladakh residents now have "Ladakh" displayed in their Aadhaar records instead of "Jammu & Kashmir." Lieutenant Governor V K Saxena intervened to address this long-pending demand. The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) made the change following the UT administration's request to accurately represent Ladakh's distinct regional identity in official identification documents.
