Sonam Wangchuk to Lead Leh March and Martyrs' Day Event Marking Ladakh Protests
Climate activist Sonam Wangchuk will lead a symbolic 20-km march in Leh on September 23 to advocate for Ladakh's statehood and inclusion under the Sixth Schedule. The march, postponed from September 19 due to weather, precedes a martyrs' day event on September 24 commemorating last year's protests where four civilians died in police firing. The Ladakh administration has announced compensation for victims' families, reflecting ongoing political and social efforts following the unrest.
