So, recent announcement made by home minister Amit Shah to provide a special provision for Ladakh under Article 371 is going to take shape with the blessings of PM Narendra Modi,\u201d Rijiju said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"10\"\/>Unlike Article 370, which gave J&amp;K a high degree of autonomy before its abrogation in 2019, Article 371 provides special, temporary and transitional provisions for balanced regional development and protection of tribal cultures, customary laws and local employment.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"12\"\/>The proposed Ladakh model is being framed as a \u201csui generis\u201d governance arrangement. It is expected to offer administrative flexibility and safeguards for tribal land, environment, traditional practices and jobs without granting statehood or directly bringing the region under Sixth Schedule.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"15\"\/>Rijiju said the provisions would include seven councils, matching Ladakh\u2019s expanded district map. \u201cEarlier, Ladakh had only two districts. Leh and Kargil. Now there are seven districts and along with them there will be seven councils,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<div data-type=\"in_view\" class=\"  \">\n<div class=\"LEzX4\">\n<div class=\"PmOGb\">\n<p class=\"PSf84\">Share your thoughts in the comments<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Insightful<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Agree<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Disagree<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Skeptical<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Concerning<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Promising<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Worth Reading<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Big Development<\/button><\/p>\n<p><textarea class=\"T9MbS\" rows=\"1\" placeholder=\"Add your Thoughts...\"\/><button type=\"button\" class=\"ZW6JD \" disabled=\"\">Post Comment<\/button><\/p>\n<p class=\"swnca\">Be respectful \u00b7 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.indiatimes.com\/termsandcondition\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" class=\"gkv0P\">TOI community guidelines<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"18\"\/>Ladakhi representatives from Leh Apex Body and Kargil Democratic Alliance, the region\u2019s two major political groupings, have been in talks with MHA since 2023 for constitutional safeguards covering land, jobs, culture and environment. <!-- -->Next round of talks is scheduled for Sept in New Delhi.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"22\"\/>Rijiju said Modi had long believed Ladakh needed special attention and had worked towards its development since taking office in 2014. He said the region\u2019s transformation had been striking, pointing to roads, electricity, water, mobile connectivity and telecommunications that were largely absent a couple of decades ago.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"24\"\/>\u201cWhen we were in university, and later when I became an MP in 2004, I came to Ladakh,\u201d he said. \u201cThere were no roads, electricity, water or other basic facilities. Today, the situation has changed. With mobile phones available everywhere, vast road network, telecommunication facility, we no longer have to wonder how long it takes to travel from one part of Ladakh to another.\u201d<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/india\/centre-finalising-article-371-framework-for-ladakh-says-rijiju\/articleshow\/133617650.cms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MHA finalising special Article 371 framework for Ladakh, says Union minister Kiren Rijiju; PM Modi to visit and share views on proposed provisions.
