Ladakh protest

“I see it in the way that they [Central government] turned out to be such a Ram who freed Sita from Raavan but didn’t take her home rather they put her on sale in an open market. So like this, they have left Ladakh open for industrialists and mining lobbies without any protection [from the government],” Wangchuk continued.

The Leh Apex Body (LAB) and the Kargil Democratic Alliance (KDA) jointly organised the protests, which saw men and women march through Leh's major city despite the frigid conditions.

Sonam Wangchuk is demanding inclusion of Ladakh in sixth schedule of constitution to protect ecology, while his projects are accused of creating plastic pollution
