Sonam Wangchuk's Ladakh Protesters Detained in Delhi, Begin Hunger Strike

Denied permission for a protest venue, climate activist Sonam Wangchuk and supporters demand Sixth Schedule status for Ladakh.

Activist Sonam Wangchuk led a 'Delhi Chalo Padyatra' from Leh to Delhi with demands for Ladakh's statehood and Sixth Schedule status.
Upon reaching Delhi, approximately 150 protesters were detained by police for violating prohibitory orders.
Protesters, including Wangchuk, began a hunger strike after being denied permission to protest at Jantar Mantar.
The group seeks meetings with senior government leaders, claiming previous assurances were unmet.
Concerns include the impact of development projects on Ladakh's environment and local livelihoods.
