As the Sub Committee constituted by the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) meets again tomorrow, the legal and constitutional experts have also been called to the meeting from the Union Law and Justice Ministry, reportedly with a view to discuss implementation of some parts of the Sixth Schedule to the Union Territory of Ladakh.
Official sources told that the MHA has written to Secretary Legal Affairs Department and Secretary Legislative Department of the Union Ministry of Law and Justice to depute their senior officials for the Sub Committee on Ladakh meeting at North Block at 4 PM tomorrow.
