Ladakh Talks Stall Over Legislature Powers; Next Meeting Set for October 22
Talks between the Ministry of Home Affairs and Ladakh representatives, including the Leh Apex Body and Kargil Democratic Alliance, ended without agreement over the powers of a proposed elected legislature and constitutional safeguards under Article 371(K). Both sides presented draft proposals but found significant gaps. Ladakh leaders reaffirmed their demands for legislative and constitutional protections, while the Centre shared a detailed draft. The next round of discussions is scheduled for October 22 in New Delhi.
