Ladakh LG Approves Elected Councils for All Seven Districts of UT

Lieutenant Governor V K Saxena on Thursday approved a notification to establish Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development Councils (LAHDCs) across all seven districts of the Union Territory. The move extends elected council governance to five districts that previously lacked such representation. The decision marks a significant administrative step for Ladakh since it became a Union Territory. Elections for the newly notified councils are expected to follow as part of the implementation process.
