'Will ask embassies to remove Ladakh from travel advisory'

Leh: Culture and Tourism Minister Prahlad Patel on Thursday said he would write to all embassies to not include newly formed union territory of Ladakh in any advisory against travelling to Jammu and Kashmir.

Patel's remarks come two days after tourism bodies in Ladakh asked him to tell the world that the union territory is no longer a part of strife-torn Jammu and Kashmir, to send out a message to the global community that the region is peaceful and safe for them to visit.
