Ladakh body rejects Centre's draft, accuses region of being used as a 'testing lab'

A Ladakh-based body has rejected the Centre's draft proposal outright. The group alleges that the region is being treated as a 'testing lab' for policy experiments. Its objections center on the perceived disregard for local concerns in the drafting process. The rejection signals continuing friction between Ladakh's representatives and the central government over the future of the region.
