The Lieutenant Governor’s administration of Ladakh on Tuesday announced the constitution of the Subordinate Services Staff Selection Board (SSSSB) for the Union Territory to recruit for the non-gazetted posts.
“…the President of India, in exercise of the powers conferred by the proviso to Article 309 of the Constitution of India, has delegated the powers to the Lt. Governor of the Union territory of Ladakh for exercising the powers to make the rules (for the Board),” reads a notification, issued by the L-G administration in Leh.
The development comes in the wake of ongoing dialogue between the Ministry of Home Affairs and the representatives of the politico-religious bodies of Ladakh, including the Leh Apex Body (LAB) and Kashmir Democratic Alliance (KDA).
These bodies are agitating for Statehood, special status under Sixth schedule of the Constitution, additional Parliamentary seats and exclusive Public Service Commission for recruitment.
