Centre rejects Sixth Schedule, statehood for Ladakh, offers council Ladakh's major political groups, LAB and KDA, were informed by the Centre that neither Sixth Schedule status nor statehood will be granted. Instead, a 'territorial council' model was proposed, which leaders dismissed as a 'farce.' Disagreements arose over the Sixth Schedule's effectiveness and Ladakh's financial viability for statehood. #Centre #Sixth_Schedule #Centre_rejects #political_groups #major_political #rejects_Sixth #Schedule_status #LAB #KDA #offers_council

Govt questions Sixth Schedule limits, statehood fiscal burden at Ladakh talks Govt also sought clarity on the financial burden of granting Ladakh full statehood with a legislature, including salaries, provident fund liabilities and other expenditures for about 19,000 employees. Running a state or a Union territory with a legislature involves managing deficits and long-term fiscal responsibility, prompting the panel to press Ladakhi activists for detailed projections, the sources said. #Sixth_Schedule #Schedule_limits #questions_Sixth #including_salaries #Ladakh_talks #granting_Ladakh #Ladakh_full #Govt_questions #talks_Govt #provident_fund
