Ladakh May Receive Special Provisions Under Article 371, Says Kiren Rijiju
Union Minister Kiren Rijiju announced that Ladakh may soon receive special provisions under Article 371 of the Indian Constitution as an exceptional case. He attributed this initiative to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's long-standing focus on the region's development. The announcement follows demands for constitutional safeguards after Ladakh became a Union Territory in 2019. The Ministry of Home Affairs is working to implement these provisions, and a High Court bench is set to be established in Ladakh, enhancing local governance.
