LAHDC Portal One Portal has been designed for Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development Council by the NIC Leh. In future all the online applications would be made available through this portal. The online applications developed so far are under audit. The online applications are:

a) Protected Area Permit Online.

Several areas of Leh district are considered protected and a special permit called Protected Area Permit is required to visit those areas. Most of the tourist hot-spots fall in these areas. Getting a permit from DC office can be a very inconvenient especially when the tourist season is at its peak, due to the sheer number of tourists which was estimated at about 80,000 tourists/season.

So, an online application has been developed where one can apply and get a permit online. Not only will this make getting a permit easy but also helps the tourism department to make sense of the data collected for the betterment of the growing tourism in the .

b) Online Grievance Redressal

Keeping in view the grievances and negligence faced by the citizens, NIC District Centre Leh developed a new approach to sort out their problems in a much efficient manner by lodging their complaints online.

Anyone can lodge in their complaints online regarding any problems that they face in their daily life. Their complaint will then be forwarded to the CEC-LAHDC Leh and the concerned head of the department for necessary actions to be taken. The complaints with regard to which no actions have been taken will be put on top of the priority list and the priority will go high until some measures are not taken regarding the same. This would be made visible on the home page of the website as the priority gets higher so that even the common people can see the details of every complaint.

The user will be provided with an user ID and a password so that one can login anytime to know about the latest actions taken and progress made. We even introduced the method of passing comments so that any kind of views or thinking regarding any complaint can be expressed simply by passing a comment on it and the comments can be made by the common people as well as the officers of various departments, increasing the effectiveness of the system.
