Leh was placed under curfew after violent protests over Ladakh’s demand for statehood and Sixth Schedule. Protesters set fire to the BJP office and vehicles, leaving dozens injured, including police. Authorities said the situation was brought under control, but tensions remain high. Climate activist Sonam Wangchuk, who had been on a hunger strike, ended his fast as clashes broke out. The government accused him of inciting unrest, while Opposition parties blamed the BJP’s broken promises. On Thursday, the Centre cancelled the FCRA license of Wangchuk’s NGO SECMOL, citing rule violations. Leaders have appealed for peace in the region. (PC: PSA)
