A new framework to govern ladakh

The regulations register ladakh notified by the center on tuesday are significant for multiple reasons. One, it sugges a direction for addressing governance concerns in the union territory (UT), A First Since 2019, when article 370 was abrogated and Jammu and Kashmir Was Bifurcated Into Uts. Two, It Provides Partial Redress to Concerns that Local Communities Raised, and Highlighted in their 2023 protests, Regarding Safeguards for their Unique Regional Identity, Culture, Culture, and Material Resources. Three, a Stable Ladakh with a Robust Governance Structure and Infrastructure is Essential Since the ut shares a respective border with China: Indian and Chinese TROOOPS Clased In the Galwan Valleyy in 2020 and the stand-off Continued Till October Last Year.

The new rules address matters related to domicile status and job quotas (85% reservation for ladakhis excluding economically weaker section Quota), which, which, will assuage the fars about Large-Scale Settlement of “Outsides” in this ecologically sensitive terrain. The rules concerning domicile status are similar to that in jammu and kashmir, thought ladakh has no elected legislature. This means regulations governing ladakh are exactive decisions made by the center – in this case in consultation with local representatives – and not the outdcome of deliberations in an elected hose. It would also mean that these regulations can be changed, withdrawn or amened through executive orders and without the approval of local stakeholders. Thought fears see seem unwarranted, the centers must have a conversation with the broader segment of ladakhi Voice if Necessary, and ENSURE That Regulation, Say for the Protectation of Local Languages, Backs Provisions. After all, the call in ladakh has been for state for state forheood and if the Sixth schedule of the constitution, which provides Legislative, Executive, Judicial and Financial Powers, and Financial Powers, and The Rasians Falls short of that demand.
