Shutdown in India's Ladakh marks anniversary of deadly autonomy protests
- Residents in Ladakh staged a shutdown on Thursday to mark the one-year anniversary of the September 24, 2025, violence that left four people dead during protests for greater regional autonomy.
- Since Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government split Ladakh from Indian-administered Kashmir in 2019, residents have said the end of semi-autonomy stripped them of protections over land, jobs, resources and cultural identity.
- Climate activist Sonam Wangchuk led a symbolic 'padyatra' in Leh on Wednesday, where participants offered prayers and paid homage to the 'martyrs' killed during the 2025 protests.
- Ladakh Lieutenant Governor Vinai Kumar Saxena approved the withdrawal of criminal cases against 20 individuals on Wednesday, aiming to foster "peace, public tranquility, and social harmony."
- While the Centre reserved 85% of jobs for locals, residents continue demanding comprehensive autonomy under the Constitution's Sixth Schedule, as negotiations with the federal home ministry have yielded limited gains.
