Mortal remains of 46-year-old ex-serviceman Tsewang Tharchin, a Kargil War veteran who was killed in violence during recent protests for Ladakh statehood, being taken for his last rites amid curfew in Leh on Monday, September 29, 2025.
Along with the curfew, internet and mobile services also remain suspended in Leh, adding to the woes of the tourism industry.

Overview

  • LAB said it will skip the Home Ministry’s High Powered Committee, including the October 6 round, until peace is restored.
  • The LAB and Kargil Democratic Alliance demanded a judicial probe into the September 24 firing, the release of detainees, and withdrawal of 'anti-national' labels.
  • The Home Ministry said it is always open for dialogue with LAB and KDA and cited past outcomes from the High Powered Committee.
  • Leh remained under curfew for a sixth day with mobile internet suspended and restrictions on gatherings as officials reviewed security during two final rites.
  • Four people were killed in last week’s clashes; dozens have been arrested, and activist Sonam Wangchuk is detained under the National Security Act in Jodhpur.
