Centre Proposes Elected Governing Body for Ladakh with Limited Powers
The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has proposed creating an elected governing body for Ladakh under a new Chapter K of Article 371, granting legislative powers over land, culture, language, forests, environment, and natural resources. This body would be elected directly and hold executive, budgetary, and financial authority. However, police and public order powers remain excluded, a key concern for Ladakh representatives. Discussions continue, with a draft proposal expected soon. The MHA also committed to compensating victims of the 2025 agitation in Ladakh.
