Ladakh Leaders to Resume Talks with Centre After Months-Long Deadlock

Representatives from Ladakh have accepted an invitation from the Ministry of Home Affairs to resume talks in Delhi on October 22, ending a months-long stalemate. Delegations from the Leh Apex Body (LAB) and Kargil Democratic Alliance (KDA) will discuss their core demands, including statehood for Ladakh and its inclusion in the Sixth Schedule of the Constitution for tribal area protection. The development follows a period of intense protests and is seen as a crucial step toward resolving the region's political grievances.
