Ministry of Home Affairs and Ladakh Leaders Discuss Proposed Elected UT Body Under Article 371
On September 9, the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) held sub-committee talks with Ladakh representatives from the Leh Apex Body (LAB) and Kargil Democratic Alliance (KDA) to discuss a proposed elected governing body under a new Chapter K of Article 371. The MHA offered legislative, executive, budgetary, and financial powers over land, culture, environment, and natural resources, but excluded law and order authority. Ladakh leaders expressed disappointment over the absence of a concrete draft proposal and sought clarity on key powers and compensation for 2025 agitation victims. Further talks are planned for October.
