Ladakh administration dissolves hill council in Kargil, announces panchayat elections on November 21
The Ladakh administration has disbanded the Kargil hill council and set dates for local panchayat elections, scheduled for November 21. It has identified 100 electoral constituencies across the region’s eight districts. Candidate nominations must be submitted by November 2, and the Model Code of Conduct is now in force. The move follows a broader administrative restructuring aimed at streamlining governance in the union territory.
