When Ladakh was separated from Jammu and Kashmir and made a union territory in 2019, a lot of celebration was celebrated here.

Now the situation has changed. Local people say that even though they have separated from Jammu and Kashmir, they do not have the same participation in the administration as they want.

Local people now say that instead of rule from Srinagar or Jammu, the command is now in the hands of Delhi, so there should be assembly and Ladakh should get state status. Also, the region should be included in the sixth schedule of the Constitution, so that the language-culture of Ladakis can be protected.

A bandh is organized all over Ladakh.

Leh kargil democratic alliance

People met Shah
Local people say that for three years, protests have been increasing here against the direct government of the central government. Local people are constantly saying that our culture, land, resources should be protected and local government is necessary for this. The Modi government at the Center formed a committee only on these demands. This committee had held several meetings, but no result was found. In March this year, Amit Shah met a delegation from Ladakh, but the conversation could not move forward. Local people said that this happened because Amit Shah rejected our main demands.
