Скачать или смотреть Rare Violence Erupts in Ladakh as Statehood Protest Turns Violent

Leh witnessed a rare outbreak of violence on Wednesday as Ladakh’s statehood protests spiralled out of control. Demonstrators clashed with police, pelting stones, setting a police vehicle on fire, and attacking the local BJP office. The unrest erupted after two hunger strikers alongside climate activist Sonam Wangchuk fell ill, sparking anger and a complete shutdown across the region. Protesters are demanding full statehood for Ladakh and constitutional protections under the Sixth Schedule to safeguard its culture, land, and resources. These clashes are unprecedented in a region known for largely peaceful demonstrations and come just days before scheduled talks with the central government on October 6. Authorities have invited Ladakh representatives to resume discussions, but local leaders warn that without concrete action the unrest could escalate further, marking a new and volatile phase in Ladakh’s ongoing struggle for autonomy and constitutional recognition.
