Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development Council

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development Council (LAHDC) created under the Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development Council Act, 1995, following demands of Ladakhi people to make the district a new Indian union territory because of its religious and cultural differences with Kashmir. In October 1993, the Indian government and the State government agreed to grant Ladakh the status of Autonomous Hill Council. The council came into being with the holding of elections on August 28, 1995. The inaugural meeting of the council was held at Leh on September 3, 1995.
