Leh Under Curfew for Sixth Day as LG Reviews Security After Deadly Unrest

The unrest grew from long-running demands for Ladakh statehood and Sixth Schedule protections.

Overview

  • Authorities kept strict restrictions in place on Monday, citing security needs during the last rites of two victims after two others were cremated on Sunday.
  • Mobile internet remains suspended in Leh and prohibitory orders continue across major parts of Ladakh, including Kargil, with heavy police and paramilitary deployment.
  • Officials described the situation as largely peaceful under curfew, which had a brief phased relaxation on Saturday but none on Sunday.
  • Over 60 people have been taken into custody in cases linked to the violence, with several named figures surrendering and some sent to police custody.
  • Climate activist Sonam Wangchuk was detained under the National Security Act and lodged in Jodhpur jail following the September 24 clashes that left four dead and over 150 injured.
