Beyond the name: The fault lines in the Centre’s Ladakh proposal
The Centre's proposal for a new elected body under Article 371(K) in Ladakh has failed to satisfy local leaders, who deem it 'unsatisfactory and unacceptable.' Talks on October 15 revealed significant disagreements on the proposal's structure and powers, with Ladakh Chief Secretary Ashish Kundra noting discussions were stalled over naming issues. Further negotiations are expected to address these concerns.
