- Climate activist Sonam Wangchuk noted "no special progress" since May 22, while Sajjad Kargili of the Kargil Democratic Alliance described the absence of a concrete draft as "disappointing."
- Officials promised further talks in October, yet Ladakh groups warned they would oppose any major administrative changes or land transfers undertaken before the proposed democratic body is formally constituted.
