Ladakh Schedules First All-District Hill Council Elections for December 4
Ladakh will hold its first elections for all eight Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development Councils on December 4, with polling concluding by December 8. The councils, expanded from two to eight districts, will have 100 seats, including 36 reserved for women. The election schedule aims to align with the budget calendar, allowing newly elected councils to prepare budgets by March. However, the December timing has sparked protests in Kargil, where a shutdown was observed opposing the winter poll dates.
