Besides, the team members held deliberations with the leaders of Ladakh Buddhist Association, Anjuman-e-Miandul Islam Ladakh and members of Congress on wide range of issues.

"We met members from Hill Development Council, other organizations and some politicians. They have a unanimous demand for granting union territory status to the region," Kumar told media persons. The team is likely to be joined by its head- noted journalist Dileep Padgaonkar- later this week.
