Watch: UT administration and MHA not on the same page: Ladakh leaders

Leaders in Ladakh have expressed concerns that the Union Territory administration and the Ministry of Home Affairs are not aligned regarding governance proposals. The MHA has suggested an elected body under a new constitutional provision.
Why it matters
This reflects the ongoing administrative and political transition in Ladakh following its reorganization as a Union Territory.
The Union Ministry of Home Affairs has proposed an elected body for the Union Territory of Ladakh by introducing a new constitutional provision under Article 371. The proposal, under a new Chapter K, was discussed with civil society members at a meeting with MHA officials in New Delhi.
