Ladakh Approves Rules Granting Ownership Rights for Nautor Land
Ladakh's Lieutenant Governor Vinai Kumar Saxena approved the Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development Councils (Nautor Regularisation) Rules, 2026, resolving a decades-old land rights issue. The rules grant proprietary rights for up to 10 acres of government-owned barren 'Nautor' land occupied before October 27, 2020, with larger holdings leased at a premium. Authority to allot such land is vested in the Hill Councils across all seven districts. This framework aims to provide legal certainty to occupants and enable land use as financial assets while protecting public land from encroachment.
