Ladakh Approves New Rules Granting Proprietary Rights on Nautor Land
Ladakh's Lieutenant Governor has approved the Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development Councils (Nautor Regularisation) Rules, 2026, resolving a decades-old land rights issue. The rules grant proprietary rights for land holdings up to 10 acres occupied before October 27, 2020, while larger holdings will be leased at a premium. Authority to allot Nautor land is vested with the Hill Councils across all seven districts. This framework aims to provide legal certainty to genuine landholders and enable land use as financial assets.
