Curfew remains imposed in Leh, Ladakh, on Friday, marking the third consecutive day of restrictions following violent protests. A high-level team from the Union Home Ministry convened meetings to gauge the tense security situation.<\/p>\n
No reports of violence surfaced on Friday, although law enforcement remains vigilant. Authorities enforced the curfew initially on Wednesday evening after protests erupted, claiming four lives and leaving over ninety injured. The protests initiated by the Leh Apex Body (LAB) focus on demands for statehood and the incorporation of Ladakh under the Sixth Schedule of the Indian Constitution.<\/p>\n
Despite the ongoing curfew, conditions in Ladakh stayed relatively placid. Government officials hinted at potential relaxation of curfew measures later in the day to facilitate essential services. However, authorities have detained over 50 individuals linked to the protests.<\/p>\n
The police, alongside paramilitary forces, actively patrol the streets of Leh to uphold law and order and thwart any attempts to incite further unrest. District Magistrate Romil Singh announced the closure of all government and private educational institutions for two days, starting Friday.<\/p>\n
A critical assessment team from the Ministry of Home Affairs arrived in Leh on Thursday, positioning themselves to address the unfolding situation promptly.<\/p>\n
Ladakh’s Lieutenant Governor, Kavinder Gupta, addressed the media, asserting, \u201cThe videos circulating online are deliberate attempts to disturb peace in Ladakh. We must ensure the future of our youth is not jeopardized. Any incidents of violence will face strict consequences under our zero-tolerance policy.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
