MHA draft on Ladakh demands: Elected body’s laws need L-G nod

The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has drafted rules for Ladakh that propose the Lieutenant Governor's (LG) nod for any law made by the elected Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development Council (LAHDC).

This comes amidst a power tussle between the elected body and the LG, who has been administering the region since it was made a Union Territory in 2019.

The draft rules also propose that the LG can direct the LAHDC to make, amend, or repeal any rule or regulation.
