Leh Apex Body Asserts Peaceful Intentions Amid Restrictions

As the Ladakh administration imposes prohibitory orders and reduces internet speed ahead of the proposed ‘border march’ by the Leh-based Apex Body, the group emphasizes its commitment to peaceful protest and adherence to the law. Spearheading demands for Ladakh’s Statehood and inclusion in the Sixth Schedule, the Apex Body aims to draw attention to issues facing grazers and land encroachments.

Despite the administration’s orders, climate activist Sonam Wangchuk and LAB leader Chering Dorjay assert their determination to proceed with the march peacefully. Wangchuk criticizes the restrictions as an overreaction, emphasizing the need for transparency and open dialogue. Amid allegations of police intimidation, the LAB maintains its stance on peaceful activism and vows to continue advocating for Ladakh’s rights within the legal framework.
