When did Ladakhi people first place their request for a separate union territory?

Solution (By Examveda Team)

Ladakhi people in 1949 placed their first request for being declared as a Union Territory, so that the developments needed for this region can be adequately fulfilled. The central government carved out two Union Territories i.e. Ladakh and Jammu and Kashmir out of the State Jammu and Kashmir in 2019.
