In Big Breakthrough, Centre Agrees To Give 95% Quota To Locals In Ladakh Gazetted Officers' Posts

As far as separate Lok Sabha seats for Leh and Kargil are concerned, that has been stalled as the Centre has made it clear that this can be discussed only after the 2026 Census

In a big breakthrough, the Centre has in-principle agreed to reserve 95 per cent gazetted officers' posts for locals in the Union Territory of Ladakh.

"It's big news for the people of Ladakh. People have been praying for some good news from this meeting and now their prayers have been answered. The MHA has agreed to reserve 95 per cent gazetted officers' jobs for locals," Ladakh MP Hanifa Jan told NDTV.

According to him, the finer details about how it is going to be implemented will be discussed in the next meeting on January 15.
