Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development Councils (Amendment) Regulation, 2025

The Ladakh Official Languages Regulation, 2025

This Regulation amends the Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development Councils Act, 1997. It introduces a mandatory reservation policy for women in the Hill Development Councils. The law requires that at least one-third of the total seats in the Council be reserved for women. These reserved seats are allotted to different territorial constituencies on a rotational basis. The rotation process follows the serial numbers assigned to constituencies, which the Central Government must publish in the Official Gazette. This change ensures gender representation in local governance within the Ladakh region, affecting how candidates contest elections for these councils.
