Earlier, even two voters in Demchok were facilitated through helicopters to ensure their participation. So why is the administration ignoring half of the population now,” Wangchuk said. He appealed to the country’s leadership, including the opposition and people across India, to pay attention to Ladakh and oppose what he termed an arbitrary decision by the lieutenant-governor’s administration.

Haneefa said he had met the Ladakh L-G and told him holding elections during winter would deprive a large number of people of their right to vote. He said despite it they issued the poll notification.Lakrook said holding elections during peak winter was unheard of in Ladakh.

He said May or June would be more suitable time ensure maximum voter participation. Karbali accused the L-G of imposing its decisions on Ladakh’s people. He said the region has traditionally recorded around 90% voter turnout but the administration was scheduling elections at a time when nearly 30% of the population would be outside the Union Territory.Kargili alleged that the administration was making every effort to defame LAB and KDA and that holding elections in Dec was an infringement of people’s voting rights and a denial of adequate political representation.
