Center-Right Owned by Adani Group (AMG Media)Amid Boycott Call, Ladakh To Hold Hill Council Elections On December 4
What's behind this
Ladakh's State Election Commission set December 4 as the polling day for all eight Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development Councils, with counting slated for December 8. The decision was announced amid protests and shutdowns in Kargil and Sankoo, and the Apex Body in Leh has opposed holding winter elections, calling for a review. Meanwhile, the number of hill council seats has been raised to 100, including 36 seats reserved for women for the first time. Civil society groups have criticised the unilateral move to schedule the polls, citing concerns over delimitation and the challenges of voting in winter.
