Kargil hill council polls: legal wrangle between Ladakh govt. and National Conference far from over

The polls for the Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development Council-Kargil (LAHDC-K) in the Union Territory (UT) of Ladakh have been slated for September 10 but the legal wrangle between the Ladakh administration and the National Conference (NC) seems far from over. 

The LAHDC-K polls will be the first such elections in Kargil since Ladakh was carved out as a Union Territory, without an Assembly, from Jammu and Kashmir in 2019.

Candidates have to file their nominations by August 16. The date for withdrawing nominations has been set as August 26.
