History
The union territory of Ladakh was formed on 31 October as a result of provisions contained within the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation Act, 2019.[3] The region was previously part of the former state of Jammu and Kashmir and policing was the responsibility of the Jammu and Kashmir Police. A new police force for Ladakh was created when the new union territory was established.[4]
Organizational structure
Ladakh Police is under the direct control of Department of Home Affairs, Government of India. It is headed by Inspector General of Police (IGP).

gollark: Did you know that there are actually three independent XTMF writer programs, and three reader ones (two for ingame use, one for playing back tapes on the desktop for some bizarre reason)?
gollark: You are *really* repetitive, qez.
gollark: If I were to redesign it, it would probably use CBOR in place of JSON, possibly apply some sort of minimal compression library, and include a "track type" field of some kind.
gollark: XTMF is admittedly not the best-designed standard, in retrospect.
