Centre formally marks 28 strategic Ladakh sites, including LAC friction points, on official map
Synopsis

The Centre has formally identified 28 strategic places and geographical features in Ladakh on the official Survey of India map, including Gogra and Hot Spring, which were friction points during the 2020 India-China border standoff. The move, carried out in consultation with the Ladakh administration, aims to standardise place and feature names, improve identification and promote public awareness of the sensitive border region.

The Centre has formally identified 28 strategic places and geographical features in Ladakh, including key border friction points along the LAC like Gogra and Hot Spring, on the official Indian map on Friday.



The step, taken by the Government in consultation with the Ladakh Union Territory administration, aims to streamline official cartography, facilitate precise identification, and foster better public awareness regarding the sensitive border region.



"Government of India, in consultation with the Union Territory of Ladakh, has identified a total of twenty-eight (28) places/features, located in the UT of Ladakh, by standard place and feature names on the official map of Survey of India (SoI)," a government statement said.

Both sides started the disengagement process in 2022.
