Ladakh Violence: Leh Apex Body Decides to Stay Away From Talks with Centre Till Normalcy Is Restored

  • On September 24, 2025, violent protests erupted in Leh during a shutdown called by the Leh Apex Body demanding statehood and Sixth Schedule extension.
  • The protests followed long delays in talks with the Centre, despite an invitation extended on September 20 to discuss demands on statehood and protections.
  • Police opened fire without magistrate orders, killing four people including an ex-serviceman and injuring scores while over 50 were detained and activist Sonam Wangchuk was arrested under NSA.
  • The Leh Apex Body declared it will not resume talks until peace returns, calling the violence a youth frustration over job shortages and unfulfilled government promises, and demanded a judicial inquiry by a retired SC judge.
  • The incident intensified regional tensions, with the Apex Body canceling planned talks for October 6, signaling ongoing unrest and a stalled dialogue process despite some past progress.
