MHA proposes new Chapter K under Article 371 for Ladakh

The Ministry of Home Affairs has suggested adding a new Chapter K to Article 371, which would give the Union Territory of Ladakh its own elected legislative body. Civil society groups that met with the central government say they want a draft proposal to be circulated. The move aims to give Ladakh greater autonomy while keeping it under the Union Territory framework.
