  "summary": "Ladakh civil society groups, including the Leh Apex Body and the Kargil Democratic Alliance, have submitted a list of \"non-negotiable points\" to Ministry of Home Affairs officials and Ladakh Chief Secretary Ashish Kundra. The demands include having a Ladakh Legislative Assembly headed by a Chief Minister and a council of Ministers, with meaningful control over taxation, budget, and public funds. The groups also request a separate Public Service Commission and distinct Ladakh Administrative and Police Services. They seek a formal meeting in September to discuss their demands, which include the unconditional withdrawal of cases against those affected by the September 2025 agitation over Statehood and Sixth Schedule demands.",
