Shutdown across Ladakh as LAB, KDA push for 'credible dialogue' with Centre
Ladakh observed a shutdown as the Leh Apex Body and Kargil Democratic Alliance protested the Centre's alleged failure to honor agreements from May 22 talks. Thousands rallied, demanding "credible dialogue" and expressing resentment over the UT administration's unilateral decisions on land, liquor policy, and tourism. The groups seek statehood and Sixth Schedule protections, accusing the government of a deepening "trust deficit" and delaying progress on long-pending demands.
