Sonam Wangchuk says work still in progress following MHA talks on Ladakhs political future
New Delhi , May 23 : Climate activist and Ladakh campaigner Sonam Wangchuk on Saturday indicated that meaningful progress had been made in talks with the Central Government over Ladakhs long-pending demands for democratic representation, even as he cautioned that no final decision had yet been taken. Speaking to ANI, Wangchuk elaborated on the contours of the proposal. Ladakh has always demanded safeguards under Article 244 and the Sixth Schedule of the Constitution, and statehood. The government proposed to grant similar safeguards under Article 371, which cannot be implemented without an elected Assembly, he said.Taking to social media, Wangchuk described the outcome of a meeting held at the Ministry of Home Affairs as an in principle understanding, stating that a broad consensus had been reached on restoring democracy to the Union Territory through a tailor-made legislative body, one that would hold executive, financial, and law-making powers, with safeguards modelled on Article 371 of the Constitution. The meeting was attended by representatives of the Kargil Democratic Alliance (KDA) and the Leh Apex Body, two key civil society groupings that have been at the forefront of Ladakhs push for greater self-governance since its reorganisation as a Union Territory in 2019. On the question of full statehood, a central demand of Ladakhs people, Wangchuk acknowledged the fiscal constraints that currently make it untenable. Right now, Ladakh does not have that much revenue to pay for government employees, he noted, adding that the two sides had proposed an Assembly that, while falling short of statehood, would function at Ladakhs level until sufficient revenue is generated. A significant element of the understanding, Wangchuk pointed out, concerns the control of bureaucracy. Under the proposed arrangement, the elected head of the legislative body would have overall authority over the Chief Secretary and the broader administration, a significant shift from the current structure, where the Lieutenant Governor holds that power. However, Wangchuk was careful to temper expectations, telling ANI, There was only a proposal, and no decision was taken as we need to work on its details. I would say the work is still in progress.

Moments After Referral to Srinagar, Woman Delivers Baby in ambulance outside DH Bandipora Gate
Bandipora, May 23: A pregnant woman delivered her baby inside a 108 ambulance just moments after being referred from District Hospital Bandipora to Srinagar, raising serious questions over the handling of the case by doctors on duty.Kulsooma Begum, wife of Azad Ahmad Dar of Laharwalpora, was brought to the District Hospital Bandipora on Friday after developing pregnancy-related complications. According to family members, despite being in active labour pain and in a critical condition, she was referred to Srinagar for advanced treatment. However, shockingly, the woman delivered the baby inside the ambulance immediately after stepping out from the main gate of the hospital, while still within the hospital premises.Relatives strongly questioned the referral decision and alleged negligence by the doctors concerned. They claimed the patient was shifted without proper management despite labour pains already having started.We want a fair investigation. How can a woman in such a condition be referred when she delivered within minutes of leaving the hospital? family members said. Sources said a Consultant from the Obstetrics and Gynaecology Department had allegedly advised the Medical Officer to manage and refer the patient without personally examining her. Following complaints from the family and public outrage, CMO Bandipora visited the hospital to assess the situation and assured that strict action would be taken if any negligence is found.Meanwhile, the Medical Superintendent of District Hospital Bandipora has sought written explanations from a Consultant OB/Gynae and a Lady Medical Officer regarding the circumstances that led to the delivery during transit. The doctors have been directed to explain their role, duties performed and the management of the patient within three days, failing which action under relevant service rules may follow. The incident has sparked concern among the public, with many questioning the functioning and patient care system at the district hospital.
