    MHA Proposes New Chapter ‘K’ Under Article 371 For Ladakh 

    Context

  • Recently, the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) discussed a proposed Article 371(K) to provide Ladakh with constitutional safeguards and a directly elected governing body.

    • Why is Article 371 relevant to Ladakh?

  • The proposed Article 371(K) would be significant because the existing Article 371 framework primarily provides special arrangements for States, whereas Ladakh is a Union Territory without a legislature.
  • Thus, a new 371(K) could represent a sui generis constitutional model for Ladakh, potentially giving an elected UT-level body legislative powers over land, culture and language, forests, environment and natural resources.
