The National Conference (NC) on Thursday, retained the party symbol to contest the upcoming hill council polls in Ladakh’s Kargil district.
“In a major victory for the NC in the J&K High Court today, the court ordered the UT of Ladakh to allot Hal (Plough) symbol for candidates of the party to contest the Hill council elections for which the notification, has been issued a few days ago,” former Chief Minister and NC Vice President Omar Abdullah said.
Ladakh was carved out as a separate Union Territory (UT) from J&K in 2019. The regional parties were supposed to formally register the party symbol in the UT of Ladakh.
