Ladakh Groups Plan September 23 Rally and March Marking Statehood Protest Anniversary
The Kargil Democratic Alliance (KDA) and climate activist Sonam Wangchuk have announced a rally and a symbolic 20-km march on September 23 in Ladakh, seeking constitutional safeguards, including statehood and Sixth Schedule inclusion. These events mark the first anniversary of a 2022 police firing that killed four protesters. Despite recent talks with the Union Ministry of Home Affairs, local leaders express dissatisfaction with progress and compensation offered to victims' families, warning of renewed agitation if demands remain unmet.
