Sonam Wangchuk Launches 'Leh Chalo Andolan' Demanding Safeguards for Ladakh
Climate activist Sonam Wangchuk announced the 'Leh Chalo Andolan' starting September 19, urging protection for Ladakh's land, culture, environment, and local governance. He emphasized the need for a democratic structure before major administrative changes and said Ladakh representatives are negotiating with the Union Home Ministry. Wangchuk gave the government one week to provide assurances; otherwise, the mobilisation could expand nationwide. The Cockroach Janta Party's Saurav Das expressed support, calling for nationwide backing of the movement.
