Centre Revises Structure and Electoral Rules of Ladakh Hill Development Councils
The Centre has amended the legal and administrative framework of Ladakh's Autonomous Hill Development Councils to align with the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation Act, 2019. The regulation allows the Ladakh administration to determine elected seats between seven and 24, nominate up to four members from women and unrepresented communities, and extend council terms if elections are impracticable. It also replaces references to 'State' and 'Governor' with 'Union territory of Ladakh' and 'Administrator'. The sitting Lok Sabha MP will serve as an ex-officio member of each district council.
