Centre Proposes Elected Governance Model for Ladakh Under Article 371(K), Talks Continue
The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) held sub-committee talks with Ladakh representatives, including the Leh Apex Body (LAB) and Kargil Democratic Alliance (KDA), to discuss a unique governance model under a proposed Article 371(K). The Centre offered an elected Union Territory-level body with legislative powers over land, culture, environment, and resources, but key issues like law and order, executive authority, and a detailed draft remain unresolved. Ladakh leaders expressed disappointment over the lack of concrete proposals and warned of renewed agitation if demands are unmet. Further talks are planned for October.
