The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) is set to hold an informal round of talks with Ladakh-based groups, including the Leh Apex Body (LAB) and the Kargil Democratic Alliance (KDA), in Leh on Thursday. The meeting between the Ladakh groups and senior MHA officials will serve as a prelude to the next round of talks in New Delhi, where discussions will focus on the framework of a Union Territory-level legislative body proposed during the May 22 Sub-Committee meeting.
