On Sunday, over 100 volunteers, led by famous inventor and climate activist Sonam Wangchuk, began a foot march from Leh to Delhi, pressing the Central government to continue stalled conversations with Ladakh`s leadership on a four-point agenda. The `Delhi Chalo Padyatra` was organised by the Leh Apex Body (LAB), which, along with the Kargil Democratic Alliance (KDA), has been fighting for Ladakh`s rights for the past four years.
The demands include statehood for Ladakh, an expansion of the Constitution`s Sixth Schedule, the establishment of an early recruitment process and a public service commission for Ladakh, and separate Lok Sabha seats for Leh and Kargil. Previous negotiations between Ladakh leaders and the central government ended in March with no settlement, reported PTI.
