According to Kashmir Media Service, LAB, along with Kargil Democratic Alliance (KDA), has been holding talks with the Indian government over their four-point agenda \u2014 statehood, Sixth Schedule status for Ladakh, dedicated Public Service Commission (PSC) and two parliamentary seats.<\/p>\n
LAB co-chairman Chering Dorjay talking to the media in Leh, Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir said they are waiting for the next round of talks with the government .<\/p>\n
\u201cI think the newly appointed Lt Governor should first talk to the local stakeholders, including councillors and the civil society, to know about Ladakh, the problems and the type of industries which are needed in the region.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe (Gupta) was recently appointed and does not know the region fully. Seeking foreign or local investment without knowing the needs is very dangerous. We are not against investments, but the industries that come to Ladakh should not damage our environment.<\/p>\n
