The December 4 polls have prompted calls for an indefinite protest over unresolved issues of delimitation and constitutional safeguards for the Union territory. The groups want the December 4 vote held after winter and the map, revised after delimitation exercise, to be reviewed. The polls are held against the backdrop of a prolonged agitation in Leh and Kargil, with political and civil society groups demanding statehood and constitutional safeguards under the Sixth.
