Ladakh Apex Body Postpones March Ahead of September 9 Talks, Warns of Agitation
Ahead of a September 9 meeting with the Ministry of Home Affairs, the Leh Apex Body (LAB) and Kargil Democratic Alliance have postponed a planned Kargil-Leh foot march, seeking progress on demands including Ladakh statehood, constitutional safeguards under Article 371, withdrawal of cases from last year's violence, compensation for victims, and publication of the inquiry report. LAB leaders, including Sonam Wangchuk and Chering Dorje Lakruk, warned of intensified agitation if talks fail to yield concrete results, emphasizing the region's ongoing concerns since Ladakh became a Union Territory in 2019.
