‘No conversation in Ladakh until the situation becomes normal’

Announcing that Leh Apex will not negotiate with the High Planned Committee (HPC) of the Ministry of Home Affairs until peace and normal situation in the body sector. Thupstan Chhewang said that the members of the body will not attend the meeting to be held on 30 September and the main meeting with the Minister of State for Home to be held on 6 October.

He said, “We expected that Jammu and Kashmir would be partitioned and people would get justice after making Ladakh a union territory, but they made us union territories without any law. After this article was canceled, all that protected our rights and identity, all that was over.”

‘People of Ladakh are feeling danger’

He criticized the central government, saying that the people of Ladakh had constitutional guarantee and security through Article 370 and 35A under the erstwhile Jammu and Kashmir state, but now they are feeling in danger.

He said, “We had formed Leh Apex Body (LAB) and Kargil Democratic Alliance (KDA0) for our rights to fight. We had to oppose. Initially the central government assured, but nothing happened later.”

Chevang alleged that the central government has been adopting a non-serious attitude towards their main demands, including the sixth schedule, state status, job and Lok Sabha seats, but now that the youth are in jails, they cannot sit and talk.

The chairman of Leh Apex Body said, “Force was used by the administration in which four people were killed. We are very sad, but still we are in touch with the center. We were planning to go to the meeting.” Chewang said that members of Apex Body, who are going to meet the officials of the Home Ministry tomorrow, are not going to Delhi. “

‘No conversation until peace is there’

He said, “We are keeping an eye on the situation right now, until peace is done here, we will not be part of any conversation. We hope that the Ministry of Home Affairs will take some steps to normalize the situation.” Chhewang said, “The situation is very bad.” He further said that while youth and political activists are being implicated in false cases, the situation in Ladakh remains so stressful, the tip of the gun cannot be interacted. “

Chhewang said, “We demand the release of all the prisoners, withdrawing the cases and the unique label and false propaganda that described the Ladaks as anti-nation.” He appealed to the Kargil Democratic Alliance to support the top body’s stance and boycott the conversation with the Center.

The Ladakh unit of the Congress has said that all the negative publicity and false allegations against Sonam Wangchuk, the local people would not believe it and emphasized that the climate activists have become the most prominent and vocal face of the Ladakh movement.

The Congress said that if the government believes that the arrest of Wangchuk will help in restoring peace and harmony in the area, then it is making a big mistake. Wangchuk was detained under the National Security Act (NSA) on Friday (September 26, 2025) and has been kept in Jodhpur Jail in Rajasthan.

4 protesters killed in Ladakh violence

Two days ago, the performance of people demanding to give Ladakh full state status and include in the sixth schedule became violent and widespread violence spread in the Union Territory. Four protesters were killed and 90 others were injured in these clashes.

Congress’s Ladakh unit president Naveen Rigjin Jora said in a statement, “The Congress strongly condemns the unfair arrest of the popular worker. He had only one fault that he held Ladakh accountable for the election promise of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to include Ladakh in the sixth schedule of the Constitution.

Wangchuk on the path of Mahatma Gandhi

In the statement, Nawang said, ‘He was also playing an important role in raising other demands of’ Leh Apex Body-Kargil Democratic Alliance ‘. These demands include full state status, different parliamentary seats for Leh and Kargil and recruitment in government jobs. According to the data of the Government of India, Ladakh has the second highest unemployment rate at graduation level.

He said that Wangchuk has done Satyagraha, fast and padyatra in the last five years, following the path of Mahatma Gandhi. He has become the most prominent and outspoken face of the Ladakh movement and hence knocking in the eyes of the central government.

LG clearly said that the culprits will not be spared under any circumstances.

Administration should save people from being misled

The National Conference chief Farooq Abdullah has received a big statement on violence erupted in Leh, Ladakh. Farooq Abdullah supported the Ladakh violence through a press conference. He said, “The people of Ladakh are fighting for their statehood. Earlier they had raised their point peacefully but when no promises were made to him, they left Gandhi’s path and chose the path of movement.”

Farooq Abdullah further said, “People set fire to BJP’s office in Leh. I set the police vehicles on fire. I will ask the rule of India that our state is from the border of China and Pakistan. You do not provoke the spark here. You do not wait to make a spark again and this kingdom gets burnt again.”

‘No foreign forces, this voice of the people of Ladakh’

NC chief Farooq Abdullah said about the Ladakh violence, “Some people are saying that violence is happening here due to foreign forces. I want to tell that there is nothing like that. It is the voice of the people here. Those who are doing wrong with our state, they will have to learn from Ladakh.”

Supporting the agitators of Leh, Farooq Abdullah said, “Now the youth here have decided to know but our state should not go. The National Conference has always chosen the path of peace and Gandhi, but what our children will do cannot be said. It cannot be said. Such issues should be talked about solving, not to confuse it.”

‘We are with all children’- Farooq Abdullah

He further said, “What is happening in Ladakh, we are with all those children. What is happening in Ladakh is happening due to the leaders sitting in Delhi. They should wake up. Otherwise it will be too late.”

When Farooq Abdullah was asked whether China has captured India’s land? In response, the NC chief said, “If not occupied, then why do the BJP people say that we have to take back? We are not able to do petroling there.”

Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development Council (LAHDC), Leh has canceled the Himalayan Institute of Alternative Learning (Hial) allocation of more than 1076 kanals given in Fiyang village. This institute is an initiative established by famous climate activist Sonam Wangchuk.

Sonam Wangchuk accused the government of using the issue of land due to Wangchuk’s active participation in the state status for Ladakh and the active participation of Wangchuk in the political battle for the sixth schedule.

Sonam Wangchuk and Dr. Geetanjali J. Angamo denied

As per an official order issued by Lahdc Leh Deputy Commissioner and Chief Executive Officer Romil Singh, the land has been returned to the state after not using the land for the purpose allotted by the institute.

Hial founders Sonam Wangchuk and Dr. Geetanjali J. Angamo, however, denied the allegations that the government was misleading people about cancellation of land and said that this university was not a regular, but an alternative university.

Sonam Wangchuk will continue the fight for the sixth schedule

HIAL co-founder Dr. Gitanjali J. Angamo said, “We met UGC President and Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, who told us that the allocation will be postponed as long as Sonam Wangchuk continues for the sixth schedule.”

However, the government order states that this land was originally approved for the establishment of a university in May 2018. However, it was unused for more than seven years and the authorities recorded several violations in the process.

Instructions to update as soon as possible

The order states that no university was established at that place, no formal lease deeds were executed and the institute did not follow the requirements even after the allocation period ended on 5 May 2019. Citing these violations, the Deputy Commissioner directed LAHDC officers and Tehsildar Leh to remove all types of encroachments from the land and update the revenue records as soon as possible.

Sonam Wangchuk strongly condemned notice

The move is being seen as a shock for the Himalayan Institute, which made an identity to promote alternative education models in Ladakh, inspired by Wangchuk’s sustainable education and environmental-innovative innovation. However, it can also turn into a large political battle.

Leh Apex Body (LAB) and Kargil Democratic Alliance (KDA), who are leading political struggle for state status and other demands in Ladakh, have strongly condemned the notice given by the administration in the Sonam Wangchuk land allocation case and termed it as political vengeance.

Coalition leaders said this

The coalition leaders said, “Our voice cannot be suppressed by such drastic steps and we will fight against any such attempt to unite Ladakh.” Kargil Democratic Alliance at Kargil also resorted to ‘X’.

Sajjad Kargili wrote, ‘I strongly condemn the cancellation of land allocation for Sonam Wangchuk’s HIL. This is a condemnable political vengeance done with the aim of suppressing the voices of disagreement of Ladakh. #Kargil stands in solidarity with Democratic Alliance @Wangchuk66 and Leh Apex body. A meeting will be held soon to issue an official statement.

Jammu kashmir news: The freight transportation of fresh vegetables, fuel and other essential commodities on the Srinagar-Ladakh highway started again, as vehicles laden with goods were allowed to go to Kargil after three months.

This movement is an important step towards ensuring the supply of essential commodities in the remote hill region, which is facing lack of essential commodities, especially fresh vegetables and meat.

The officials confirmed the reopening of the highway for heavy vehicles, saying that the freight convoy with more than two hundred trucks and Tata mobile vehicles left for Kargil on Friday morning under strict traffic management protocol.

This route, which is often interrupted due to snowfall and meteorological challenges, is considered a lifeline for Ladakh. Officials said that for the first time after the road closure in December last year, freight vehicles were also allowed today.

Local traders and residents welcomed the resume, as it ensures the timely compensation of delayed stock and supply due to winter shutdown. The Srinagar-Ladakh highway connects Kashmir to the Union Territory of Ladakh and is one of the two main roads connecting the region, the other is the Manali-Leh highway, which is closed due to heavy snowfall.
