After Wednesday’s violent protests that left four people dead and many others injured in Leh, both the Centre and Ladakh leaders have indicated their readiness for talks on the pending demands of Ladakh to restore peace in the strategic border region.

This was stated by senior Ladakh Apex Body (LAB) leader Thupstan Chhewang in Leh today after visiting the hospital to meet those injured in Wednesday’s clashes.
