Paper: GS – II, Subject: Polity, Topic: Legislature, Issue: Ladakh-Quota, Domicile Status.
Context:
Amid demands by Ladakhi civil society groups for “constitutional safeguards” for the region, the Central government on Tuesday announced new policies for Ladakh-union-territory.
- These policies cover reservations, official languages, domicile criteria, and the composition of hill councils. Ladakh-has been a Union Territory since 2019.
Key Takeaways:
New Regulations Introduced:
Comparison with Jammu and Kashmir:
- Domicile Laws: Unlike Jammu and Kashmir, which has domicile laws restricting government jobs to locals, Ladakh-previously lacked such protections until these regulations were introduced.
- Land Ownership: Jammu and Kashmir has restrictions preventing outsiders from purchasing land, while Ladakh-currently has no such legal protections.
- Legislative Assembly: Jammu and Kashmir has a legislative assembly, providing residents with a voice in law-making, whereas Ladakh-operates without a legislature.
while the new regulations mark a significant development in Ladakh’s-governance, they are viewed as preliminary measures that require further enhancement to meet the aspirations of the local population.
