The Ladakh region is experiencing heightened tensions among its tribal population, primarily centered on the demands of Sonam Wangchuk, a prominent activist. Reports indicate a series of protests initiated by Wangchuk, demanding greater autonomy and representation within the region’s governance. These protests stem from perceived restrictions on traditional practices and a desire for increased access to resources and opportunities. Wangchuk has been arrested, leading to a significant escalation of the situation. The exact nature of the demands and the long-term consequences of the unrest remain under investigation.
