Uproar over renaming of Ayushman Bharat Health Centres in Ladakh

He also urged the authorities to refrain from any branding or changes that incorporate names or symbols associated with a specific belief system on public properties, policies, and institutions.Concerned over the issue, Chief Executive Councilor (CEC) Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development Council Leh, Tashi Gyalson wrote to Lieutenant Governor of the UT informing him that the renaming has generated significant resentment among the public, necessitating prompt attention and resolution.“The renaming of an institute is a matter of great sensitivity, and it is imperative to honor public sentiments. The branding of these health centers should be done using Bhoti language in adherence to the instructions provided by the ministry,” he said. There are at least 321 Ayuhsman centres across Ladakh UT, which comprises Kargil and Leh.
