Ladakh Leaders Differ on Progress of Talks for Unique Elected UT Body
Former BJP MP Thupstan Chhewang described the September 9 talks between Ladakhi civil society leaders, the Union Ministry of Home Affairs, and the UT administration as "fruitful," highlighting progress on a proposed unique elected body under Article 371 with legislative and financial powers. However, civil society groups like the Leh Apex Body and Kargil Democratic Alliance expressed disappointment, citing a lack of significant progress and warning of renewed agitation if decisions precede the formation of an elected body. The talks included discussions on representation, land, culture, and environment.
