Leh Ladakh

What should have been a direct contest between the BJP and the Congress in the Ladakh Lok Sabha constituency is now a three-corner fight with an alliance of local groups fielding an Independent to challenge the national parties.

Authorities in Leh on Tuesday ordered withdrawal of prohibitory orders banning rallies imposed earlier in an apparent move to counter a march to the China border announced by Leh Apex Body (LAB).

The Apex Body, along with the Kargil Democratic Alliance (KDA), is spearheading the agitation to demand statehood for Ladakh and its inclusion in the Sixth Schedule of the Constitution.

Two days ahead of the planned border march announced by climate activist and education reformer Sonam Wangchuk, the UT's administration has issued prohibitory orders in Leh district and also announced that internet speeds will be reduced.

Actor Prakash Raj on Tuesday visited climate activist Sonam Wangchuk, who was on hunger strike for nearly three weeks here to demand statehood for Ladakh and its inclusion in the Sixth Schedule of the Constitution.

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Sunday celebrated Holi with Army jawans in Leh and lauded them for protecting the country from enemies while braving extreme weather conditions.

Disillusionment and anger are palpable on the freezing streets of Ladakh capital Leh, where climate activist Sonam Wangchuk has been sitting on fast for nearly two weeks.

Developed under a public-private partnership with the DRDO and L&T, the Army's ambitious light tank project, titled 'Zorawar', was envisioned in 2021. Under it, the Centre seeks to procure 350 light tanks in a phased manner.

A patient with critical head injuries was on Monday airlifted in an Indian Air Force aircraft to Leh from a village in the Zanskar region of south Ladakh after continuous snowfall cut off ground access, it said.

A complete shutdown was observed across Ladakh as thousands marched demanding statehood and constitutional protections under the sixth schedule for the Union Territory.
