Ladakh will conduct panchayat elections on November 21 after an eight-year hiatus. The elections come amid ongoing debates over political representation and powers of elected bodies in the Union Territory, which borders China and Pakistan. The State Election Commission announced the polls will cover all panchayat halqas and conclude by November 30. This follows the dissolution of the Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development Council, Kargil, and restructuring to 100 constituencies across eight hill councils.
