Climate activist Sonam Wangchuk appealed for peace after protests in Leh, Ladakh, demanding statehood and inclusion under the Sixth Schedule, turned violent on Wednesday, September 24. Demonstrators from the Leh Apex Body (LAB) set fire to the BJP office and multiple vehicles, while also resorting to stone pelting, following clashes with the police. The protests were intensified after two hunger-striking LAB leaders were hospitalised due to deteriorating health. Videos from the site showed thick smoke rising from the BJP office as law enforcement used teargas and baton charges to control the crowd. Wangchuk urged the youth to stop the violence and seek peaceful means to voice their demands. Ladakh: Boulder From Cliff Falls on Army Vehicle Near Durbuk in Leh; 4 Soldiers Injured.
