Protest against liquor policy suspended after Ladakh admin agrees to all demands: Sonam Wangchuk
Women-led protests began last week in Ladakh, driven by a newly introduced liquor policy, demanding a complete rollback of the policy and for Ladakh to be declared a dry Union territory
Ladakh women-led protests against the new liquor policy have been suspended following the administration's agreement to all demands. The climate activist Sonam Wangchuk announced that the protest, which began last week, will temporarily halt as the administration seeks a week to formalise the agreement. The four organisations involved in the protest, including the Ladakh Buddhist Association Women Wing and Christian Community Women Wing, have accepted the UT administration's written assurance in principle regarding the liquor policy.
