Demand for Sonam Wangchuk's release intensifies:Currently imprisoned in Jodhpur jail; Leh's local bodies says, 'No talks with center until Ladakh's situation improves'

Sonam Wangchuk has been kept in Jodhpur jail. He is accused of inciting violence.

In the latest developments alongside Leh violence, the demand for statehood in Ladakh and the release of the arrested youths, including environmental activist Sonam Wangchuk, has intensified.

The Leh Apex Body (LAB), along with the Kargil Democratic Alliance (KDA), has stated that they will not engage in talks with the high-powered committee of the Centre until the situation in Ladakh normalises.

Thupstan Chhewang, Chairman of LAB, said that there is an atmosphere of fear, sorrow, and anger in Ladakh. Until peace is restored, we will stay away from talks.

Violent protests erupted in Leh during the bandh called by LAB on September 24. Four people died in these protests and 50 people were detained on charge
