Dorjay said had taken up the matter with authorities including the Lieutenant Governor and BJP national vice-president and in-charge of party affairs in Ladakh, Avinash Rai Khanna, but to no effect.
He also accused the administration of rendering the autonomous hill councils of both Leh and Kargil ineffective.
During press brief when he was asked to elaborate, he said the officials, at the instance of the administration, were not cooperating with these councils in their functioning.
In a press release issued by Lakruk, he adds that the Ladak UT administration “is utterly insensitive and callous about the pathetic condition of our stranded people”.

The people of Ladakh have sacrificed a lot to achieve the autonomous status for the two districts.” he said

But I am pained to see the patriotic people of Ladakh who have stood with our armed forces in all the wars fought by our nation since 1948 are treated so shabbily and with disrespect by the UT administrators.”[/splco_quote]
It is to be noted the BJP national president, Jagat Prakash Nadda, had appointed Chering Dorjay as the chief of BJP’s Ladakh unit only in March.
