IAS officer Pawan Kotwal takes over as Advisor to LG of Ladakh

Senior IAS officer Pawan Kotwal took charge as Advisor to Lieutenant Governor of Ladakh B D Mishra on Friday, officials said.

Kotwal becomes the second Advisor to the LG of Ladakh after outgoing advisor Umang Narula. Narula was the first official to be appointed to the post in 2019 when Ladakh became a Union Territory. Narula has been appointed as the Advisor to the LG of Delhi.

Kotwal, a 1994-batch IAS officer from AGMUT cadre, took charge in the presence of Narula and other senior officials of the Ladakh administration at Civil Secretariat, Leh today.
