In a significant move, the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has formed a committee to look into the demand for Sixth Schedule status by leaders from Ladakh. This demand has been brewing since the Abrogation of Article 370 which resulted in the bifurcation of J&K and Ladakh into separate administrative entities.

THIRTY years is too long to live in trauma. Our voice has fallen to deaf ears. We are caught between the devil and the deep sea,” says Mohan Lal Bhat, who along with his family stayed back in Valley and braved all odds in all these years of turmoil.
“I don’t know why I stayed back in Kashmir while my neighbours were packing their bags for some unknown destination on the gruesome night of January 19, 1990. My attachment with my land, home, my orchards, and moreover those mute domestic animals, who had been altogether with me all my years of life, made me stop from moving from Valley. But now I repent on my decision because we have been cheated by all the successive governments,” Gunwati, who along with her son and his family stayed back in South Kashmir and struggling for their livelihood.

The proposal was made by the police in 2013
Eight years after the chilling gang rape in New Delhi that spurred a slew of measures for women’s safety, including the Nirbhaya Fund for women safety in metro cities, by the then UPA-II government, Bengaluru is still struggling to implement the measures.
The proposal for the Safe City Project, which has been in the thick of a controversy of late, was made by the police in 2013. But it was approved by the Union Ministry of Home Affairs only in 2018. The State government, which will share 40% of the ₹667 crore project cost, took another year to approve the same and finalised it in October 2019. Since then, twice tenders have been cancelled and the third one is under way, but is at risk of being derailed.

As the looms of Gaya district fell silent last March when New Delhi imposed a nationwide lockdown, the owners of the handlooms and power looms here were in a grim mood.
Chedan Babu, who has 11 handlooms in his factory along with powerlooms, says there are no skilled workers available to work the handloom machines.
