48 detained, calm prevails in curfew-bound Leh after violence over Sixth Schedule
Following violent protests in Leh over statehood and Sixth Schedule status, police detained 48 people after four deaths and numerous injuries. A heavy curfew is in place as investigations begin into the use of force, while political figures urge restraint and dialogue. The unrest stems from delays in addressing Ladakh's demands since it became a Union Territory.
