Wangchuk to lead 20-km Leh march on Sept 23

Climate activist Sonam Wangchuk will lead a symbolic 20-km march in Leh on September 23, demanding statehood and Sixth Schedule protections for Ladakh. A 'martyrs' day' event follows on September 24, marking one year since four civilians died during protests. The march comes after talks with the Union Home Ministry failed to produce a governance draft.
