MHA Seeks Answers to 7 Queries from Ladakh Bodies on Governance Draft

The Ministry of Home Affairs has asked Ladakh's representative bodies to respond to seven specific questions as part of efforts to draft a governance framework for the Union Territory. The consultation is aimed at shaping a proposed UT-level governing body for Ladakh. Groups participating in the process have expressed a preference for direct elections to this proposed governing structure. The move reflects ongoing discussions about granting Ladakh a more defined political and administrative arrangement since it became a UT in 2019.
