GK and monthly revision
Autonomous hill councils to be extended to all seven districts in Ladakh
The Ladakh administration has expanded tehsils from 15 to 32 and plans to extend autonomous hill councils to all seven districts, following discussions with religious and civil society groups on constitutional safeguards. Chief Secretary Ashish Kundra confirmed multiple rounds of talks, signaling administrative decentralization and potential Sixth Schedule-like protections. This move addresses long-standing demands for democratic governance and cultural preservation in the Union Territory. Highly relevant for polity, governance, and UT administration topics in competitive exams.
