Ladakh: The Indian government has given the Geographical Indication (GI) tag to Ladakh's wooden works.

Indian PM Narendra Modi reacted to the development and said the move will  make Ladakh’s cultural traditions even more popular and benefit artisans.

He tweeted: " This will make Ladakh’s cultural traditions even more popular and benefit artisans."

Indian politician Jamyang Tsering Namgyal said: "Greetings to the people of Ladakh for getting #GITag to Ladakh's #WoodCarving, a first of its kind. It will surely promote the handicraft culture of the artisans as well as the local economy of the artisans of Ladakh globally."
