Leh: Curfew and severe restrictions have now entered their eighth consecutive day in Leh and Kargil regions as Indian occupation forces continue to hold the territory under tight control following the September 24 crackdown in which four unarmed protesters were killed.<\/p>\n
According to Kashmir Media Service, communication services remain cut, assembly of more than four persons is banned, and armed forces are deployed in strength throughout Ladakh.<\/p>\n
Political engagement has reached a stalemate. After the Leh Apex Body (LAB) set conditions \u2014 including an independent judicial inquiry and release of detainees \u2014 the Kargil Democratic Alliance (KDA) has also withdrawn from talks with New Delhi. The KDA demanded immediate and unconditional release of activist Sonam Wangchuk and others, and said continued refusal to address core demands like statehood, Sixth Schedule rights, and a distinct Ladakh civil service would only alienate the local populace further.<\/p>\n
The internet ban remains in place until at least October 3.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Wangchuk\u2019s wife, Gitanjali Angmo, has publicly refuted claims that her husband is a \u201cforeign agent,\u201d calling them \u201cblatant lies\u201d meant to discredit his activism for Ladakh\u2019s rights.<\/p>\n
Despite the ground-level reports of tensions and enforcement, the Indian government continues to maintain that developments are driven by law and order concerns. The impasse, with the region under curfew, dialogue failing, and its youth caught in limbo, signals a major crisis unfolding in Ladakh.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
