Ladakh Apex Body warns of bigger agitation ahead of talks with MHA on Sep 9

Ahead of crucial talks with the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) on September 9, the Leh Apex Body (LAB) has issued a stern warning of escalating protests if their demands remain unaddressed. The outfit, which has been advocating for Ladakh's inclusion as a Union Territory, is demanding legislative measures, safeguards under Article 371, withdrawal of pending cases, compensation for victims, and the publication of an inquiry commission report.

LAB chairman Chering Dorje Lakruk expressed disappointment over the delay in the inquiry commission report and questioned the pendency of cases against those involved in the September 24 violence. Despite welcoming the meeting with the MHA, LAB remains resolute in intensifying their agitation if no meaningful progress is made.
