Ladakh Talks Stall Over Constitutional Safeguards; Next Round Scheduled for October 22
Talks between the Union Ministry of Home Affairs and Ladakh representatives, including the Leh Apex Body and Kargil Democratic Alliance, ended without agreement over a draft proposal on constitutional safeguards and a legislature for Ladakh. The Centre presented a detailed draft under Article 371(K), but local groups expressed dissatisfaction, citing significant gaps between proposals and unmet demands for legislative, executive, and financial powers. Both sides agreed to continue discussions in New Delhi on October 22, aiming to resolve differences and finalize arrangements.
