• Talks slated with the Centre have stalled after the Leh Apex Body and Kargil Democratic Alliance withdrew, and the LG appealed for a return to dialogue.
• Authorities confirmed 105 security personnel were injured on September 24, and the LG directed top medical care and humanitarian support for those hurt.
• Activist Sonam Wangchuk remains detained under the National Security Act, and the administration rejected claims of a ‘witch-hunt,’ citing evidence-based probes including SECMOL’s FCRA cancellation and inquiries into HIAL.
