MHA proposes new Chapter K under Article 371 for Ladakh
The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has proposed introducing a new Chapter K under Article 371 of the Constitution to grant Ladakh its own elected legislative body. This move addresses long-standing demands from Ladakhi civil society for greater autonomy and democratic representation since the region became a Union Territory in 2019. Civil society representatives who met with the Centre have demanded to see the draft proposal before endorsing it. The development is significant for polity and governance sections, highlighting special provisions for UTs under Article 371.
