Ladakh set for unique constitutional governance model, says Chief Secretary Ashish Kundra
SRINAGAR: Ladakh is set to get a unique constitutional governance model that will be neither statehood nor a Union Territory with a legislature, Chief Secretary Ashish Kundra said after talks between Ladakh leaders and the Ministry of Home Affairs in New Delhi.
Addressing a press conference, Kundra said an agreement had been reached in principle on a "sui generis" governance model that does not exist anywhere else in the country. The proposed arrangement will require a constitutional amendment under Article 371 and approval by Parliament.
Kundra, who attended the MHA sub-committee meeting, said it was agreed that the proposed UT-level body under Article 371 would be an elected body.
