Likir(Ladakh), December 23, (Scoop News)-After an interregnum of over four decades, the villagers of Likir revived the LOSAR festivities coinciding with the silver jubilee year of Lhukhil Gonyul Thudel Tsogpa amid religious fervor and enthusiasm.

Dr Sonam Dawa Lonpo, chief executive councilor (CEC) of Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development Council (LAHDC) presided over the function where a large number of people had congregated to celebrate the ongoing LOSAR cerebrations. He offered rupees 50,000 to Lukhil Gonyul Thudel Tsogpa for boosting of LOSAR festival and other major traditions.

Under the tutelage of the elders, the people must be instrumental in protecting these principles and customs.
