Tension Lingers in Ladakh: Calls for Restoration of Internet and End to Detentions

The situation in Ladakh remains tense despite reopened schools and markets. The Leh Apex Body demands lifting all restrictions and freeing detainees for confidence restoration. Peaceful protests for statehood and Sixth Schedule safeguards continue after September's violence, as authorities review security and seek dialogue for resolution.

Tensions in Ladakh persist as the Leh Apex Body (LAB) urges the government to lift restrictions, including the internet blackout, and release detainees to regain public trust.

The call comes after September's unrest, where demands for statehood and constitutional safeguards led to violence. Despite authorities' claims of peace, LAB argues normalcy is mere illusion amidst ongoing arrests.

Ladakh's Lt Governor remains committed to dialogue, emphasizing the need for peace and development-focused governance, while LAB insists on action and immediate measures to achieve genuine tranquility.
