Ladakh Administration Orders Suspension of Activities at Sonam Wangchuk's School Amid Land Dispute
The Ladakh administration has issued a notice to the Himalayan Institute of Alternatives, Ladakh (HIAL), co-founded by climate activist Sonam Wangchuk and his wife Gitanjali J Angmo, directing it to halt activities at its Desert Flower School in Phyang until the High Court of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh resolves a pending land dispute. The administration alleges the school began operations without required clearances, while HIAL denies these claims, calling the notice a "witch-hunt" and citing delays caused by authorities. The dispute centers on the cancellation of land allotment granted in 2018, with legal proceedings ongoing.
