The Union Home Ministry on Monday constituted a high-powered committee to discuss measures to protect Ladakh's unique culture and language because of its geographical location and strategic importance. This committee will brainstorm with the officials to protect the rights of the people and save the culture in Ladakh. Experts have considered this move of the Government of India important because, since the formation of Ladakh as a separate Union Territory, the Ladakhi people were protesting to protect their rights.
Formation of 17 member committee
A note attached to the matter said that the committee, headed by Minister of State for Home Nityanand Rai, would also focus on ensuring the security of land and employment for the people of Ladakh. The 17-member committee will include Ladakh Lieutenant Governor RK Mathur, MP from the region, JT Namgyal, Chairman of the Autonomous Hill Councils of Leh and Kargil, and Joint Secretary JK and Ladakh Affairs, MHA. The Kargil Democratic Alliance and the Leh Apex Body have planned meetings and demonstrations in Jammu on January 7, demanding recognition under the Sixth Schedule for the region.
