Meeting held between MHA and Ladakh bodies LAB (Leh Apex Body) & KDA (Kargil Democratic Alliance)
GK and monthly revision
No statehood, Ladakh to get unique elected body, says Chief Secretary
The Ministry of Home Affairs held a meeting with Ladakh's Leh Apex Body (LAB) and Kargil Democratic Alliance (KDA) to discuss a proposed UT-level elected body under Article 371 of the Constitution, instead of granting statehood. Ladakh leaders termed the meeting a 'waste of time and money,' alleging a disconnect between the MHA and the UT administration. This development is significant for polity and governance sections, highlighting the application of Article 371 for special provisions in Union Territories and the ongoing demand for statehood and Sixth Schedule status in Ladakh.
