Ladakh Political Talks Stall as Centre Cancels October Meeting Amid Disputes
Ladakh leaders and the Union Home Ministry have faced a stalemate over political talks, with the October 22 meeting canceled without explanation.

Activist Sonam Wangchuk criticized the government for undermining Ladakh's democratic rights amid border tensions with China. The administration maintains commitment to a political solution, but talks remain unresolved.
