4 killed and dozens injured in remote Ladakh as protesters seeking self-rule clash with India police
- Four or more individuals lost their lives and upwards of 70 were wounded during violent demonstrations in Leh, Ladakh on Wednesday, as protesters demanded statehood and the implementation of Sixth Schedule protections.
- The unrest stemmed from years of dissatisfaction following Ladakh’s reorganization in 2019 into a union territory, with the local administration accused of postponing the implementation of promised autonomy provisions.
- Protesters set fire to the BJP office and police vehicles, leading to police firing tear gas and using batons to disperse angry youth and students in Leh town.
- Climate activist Sonam Wangchuk stated, "This only damages our cause," lamented that his peaceful hunger strike failed, and criticized the Centre's delaying tactics harming Ladakh's youth and land.
- Authorities imposed a curfew and banned gatherings over five people while deploying paramilitary forces, and scheduled talks with Ladakh leaders for October 6 to address demands and ease tensions.
