The Centre has issued regulations for Ladakh under Article 240, which empowers the President to make regulations for the peace and good governance of certain Union Territories. These regulations have introduced domicile-based job reservations, provisions for reservations, preservation of local languages, and representation for women. Although the Sixth Schedule status was widely requested, the Centre opted for regulations under Article 240 to address the demands of the people of Ladakh, providing some level of autonomy and protection.
